T20: Toe injury puts Johnson in doubt

Mitchell Johnson is struggling to be fit for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh with the Australian fast bowler suffering a toe infection stemming from a cut he picked up in South Africa. Cricket Australia said the pace spearhead was receiving treatment and it may mean a late arrival for the 32-year-old in Dhaka where Australia kick off their campaign against Pakistan on March 23. "Mitch has been home in Perth recovering from the Test series against South Africa but has developed an infection as a result of a cut he had on his right big toe after the third Test," said CA chief medical officer Justin Paoloni. It has been an arduous few months for Johnson, who spearheaded Australia's 5-0 Ashes Test whitewash of England and then the 2-1 victory over South Africa, according to AFP.
