We expect him to recover in time to play a part in the upcoming Tri Series against England and India.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nCoach Darren Lehmann said there was no point risking Johnson and the lay-off would give him time to be fully fit for the tri-series involving India and England starting January 16, ahead of the World Cup next month.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Mitchell is an important part of our plans for the remainder of our summer and we want him 100 percent right, so won&rsquo;t be taking any risks with him. We believe it is best for Mitchell to take this opportunity to freshen up and get his body fully fit ahead of the Tri Series,&quot; Lehmann said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
