Aussie keeper in doubt for third test

10:45 am on 13 March 2013

The former test wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has joined the beleaguered Australian cricket team in India on standby for the incumbent Mathew Wade who appears to be fighting a losing battle to play in the third test starting tomorrow in Mohali.

Wade is nursing a swollen ankle following a basketball mishap last week.

With Wade looking doubtful, Australia's squad has effectively been reduced to 12 following coach Mickey Arthur's decision to suspend four players for one match for failing to complete a homework assignment.

India lead the four-match series two-nil.
