SYDNEY — Paceman Mitchell Starc has calf muscle soreness and has withdrawn from Australia's one-day squad ahead of Sunday's second match against Sri Lanka, Cricket Australia said Saturday. South Australian quick Kane Richardson ha been called up as cover for Sunday's ODI against Sri Lanka at the Adelaide Oval, after Starc picked up the injury during Australia's 107-run series opening win in Melbourne Friday. The left-armer took 1-25 off six overs, but his status for the remainder of the five-match ODI series remains uncertain. The Australians are already without several fast bowlers due to injury, including Ben Hilfenhaus and Pat Cummins, although James Pattinson and Josh Hazlewood have returned from being sidelined. Richardson, 21, has gained attention following several promising displays both with South Australia and the Adelaide Strikers in the Twenty20 Big Bash League. Phil Hughes is looking to score another century against Sri Lanka. Hughes' sparkling 112 in the series opener in Melbourne Friday helped Australia post a 107-run win and the diminutive left-hander is looking for a repeat on the batting-friendly Adelaide Oval pitch. — Agencies
