George Bailey will step up as captain.&quot;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Clarke&#39;s injury comes less than three weeks out from the first Commonwealth Bank Test against India, which starts Dec 4 at the Gabba.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Brad Haddin is also racing against time to be fit for the first Test, also having been ruled out of the ODI series against the Proteas due to a shoulder injury Friday.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Clarke&#39;s hamstring troubles are linked to a chronic back injury that the skipper has been forced the manage for a lot of his career. It is the second time this year Clarke has injured his hamstring during a match, having being forced to retire hurt during Australia&#39;s ODI loss to Zimbabwe in August.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
