Veteran batsman Mike Hussey has pulled out of Australia's upcoming one-day international tour of England and Ireland for family reasons.
He will be replaced by Peter Forrest, who was named as a standby in the initial Australian squad.
"Due to our baby being born three months early, it is important for the family for me to be here at this time," Hussey said in a Cricket Australia statement.
"It is always difficult to miss any tour for Australia and I thank CA for their understanding of our family's situation."
The team leaves this Thursday for Ireland, where it will play a single one-dayer before moving to England for a five-match 50-over series.
