Katich figures in Clarke's Test plans

In a desperate move to shore up the injury-hit, out-of-form Australia Test team, skipper Michael Clarke seems inclined to recalling his estranged team mate Simon Katich.

The Australian media reported that ironically, Clarke is said to be keen on getting Katich back, according to a report by Channel Nine, which has the television rights for cricket in Australia.

The Australian reported that several names had been mentioned in selection meetings, including Katich's. However, the selectors were adamant Katich would not play.

Katich's manager Robert Joske told reporters the player would be "willing, ready and able" to play if called for the Boxing Day Test against India.u00a0
