Watson likely to be out for three weeks

Asked if Watson would be fit for the semi-finals on April 24 and 25, Kountouris replied: He8217;s likely to be.

8220;He had a history of that hamstring strain this summer, which probably didn8217;t go that well. We have got a little bit of history with how he hurt himself with a similar sort of injury in the Pura Cup final last year. We8217;ll use all that information and be as cautious as possible.8221;

Watson, who left the field after bowling only 10 balls against Bangladesh, has a long injury history behind him. He missed the 2003 World Cup with a back injury and did not play in the recent Ashes series because of a hamstring complaint.

If Watson is unavailable for the remainder of the Super Eights, Brad Hodge is likely to take his place.
