Sydney: Uncapped left-arm spinner Jon Holland will join Australia`s squad for Friday`s triangular series match against Sri Lanka as cover for Xavier Doherty who suffered back spasms during practice on Thursday.
"While Xavier Doherty`s injury is not deemed as being serious it is important we have capable cover in Sydney for tomorrow`s match," said coach Mickey Arthur in a Cricket Australia statement.
Doherty`s availability will depend on a pre-match assessment, the statement added.
