Symonds quick return will undermine teammates: Coach

8220;At the moment, Symonds8217; selection is something I don8217;t want to think about it. It would only undermine the players that are there,8221; Nielsen was quoted as saying by 8216;Sydney Morning Herald8217;.

8220;It8217;s brilliant that he has got to this stage and put out a positive message, but I don8217;t even want to start speculating about when he might return,8221; he said.

Cricket Australia Chairman of selectors, Andrew Hilditch had also said Symonds will be monitored for a while before considering his inclusion in national squad.

8220;We have to see whether the all-rounder is fully committed to all of the things needed for a cricketer to be a member of the world8217;s number one team,8221; Hilditch had said.

Symonds, who has apologised for his 8220;irresponsibility8221; and pledged a better conduct, is expected to make a comeback in competitive cricket with his grade side, the 8216;Gold Coast Dolphins8217;, over the next fortnight.

After that he is due to feature in a few Twenty20 matches for Queensland and three Sheffield Shield and four domestic one-dayers to prove himself for a possible call-up in the home Test against New Zealand in November.
