SYDNEY (Reuters) - Suspended vice-captain Shane Watson will rejoin the Australian squad for the final test against India, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Monday. Watson was dropped from the Australian squad for the third test in Mohali after failing to present three ideas on how the team could improve following their defeats in the first two tests. Mitchell Johnson, James Pattinson and Usman Khawaja were also sacked from the squad for the same reason.

Speculation about Australian vice-captain Shane Watson's Test future was put to bed Monday with an announcement that he will return to India after serving a one-match ban. The 31-year-old returned to Sydney last Tuesday after he was dropped for the third Test after failing to prepare feedback on how the team could improve and deliver it to management. Three other players were also axed. Watson, whose wife gave birth last week, made clear he felt the punishment was overly harsh and said he would be considering his future, but has decided to battle on.
