New Delhi, Jan 26 (Ians) Mark Waugh, Mitchell Johnson and Aaron Finch will be the replacements for Michael Clarke for commentary during Australia’s upcoming tour of India.
A report in The Sydney Morning Herald says Clarke, the 2015 Odi World Cup winning captain of Australia, was passed over by the Bcci following a video of his altercation with his girlfriend going viral on social media.
The report adds that Waugh is set to accompany Matthew Hayden as the Australian commentators for the first two Tests of the series, to be played for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, in Nagpur (February 9-13) and New Delhi (February 17-21).
Johnson will then take over from Waugh for the third and fourth Tests of the series in Dharamshala (March 1-5) and Ahmedabad (March 9-13). For the three ODIs that follow after the four-match Test series, Johnson will be joined by Finch, who recently retired from ODIs.

Australia’s Test team will fly to India next week, giving them just a few days to prepare before the Border-Gavaskar series, which gets underway on February 9 in Nagpur.
“That’s the part I don’t understand. The no tour game before the first Test in India. I hope I’m proven wrong but I think that is going to be significant,” Fox Sports quoted Clarke as saying on the Big Sports Breakfast.
