Nasser Hussain (Captain)Graveney said: “I am satisfied that the players selected in this squadrepresent the best mix of experience and youth that England has available toit. The unavailability of several key players for various reasons overrecent months has given us the opportunity to bring in a number of youngplayers into our plans, several of these players have responded extremelywell to the challenge and we have had no hesitation in including them in thesquad.”So far as Andrew Flintoff is concerned I can tell you that he his makinggood progress in his rehabilitation work with Dave Roberts at Lancashire andhas been bowling at around 90% pace in the nets whilst experiencing muchless pain. The indications from the ECB medical officer are that Andrew willbe fit and able to play a full part in the competition.”Ashley Giles has been given the go-ahead from his specialist to begintraining and bowled six overs in the nets over the weekend without sufferingany pain or reaction. Again, I am satisfied that Ashley will be able to playa full role for England in the World Cup.”We will be looking to have both Andrew and Ashley to travel to Australiaduring the next few weeks to continue their rehabilitation and prove theirfitness.”So far as Craig White’s injury is concerned, his recovery is in its earlystages. Initial medical advice was that this injury would require three to sixweeks to heal. Craig will be receiving intensive treatment with the aim ofhaving him available for the finals of the VB Series should England qualify.We will also be looking to Andrew and Ashley to be fit for selection forthose finals.”Those players presently with the England squad taking part in the VB Seriesbut not included in the World Cup squad will stay with the team for theduration of the series and will be considered as replacements should they berequired in the event of injury.”
