SYDNEY, Jun 12 (AFP): Cricket Australia (CA) said Friday it had withdrawn its contract offer to disgraced allrounder Andrew Symonds, sent home from the World Twenty20 after the latest in a series of alcohol-related indiscretions.
"Cricket Australia has advised Andrew Symonds that his contract offer for the next contract year (starting July 1) has been withdrawn," CA chief operations manager Michael Brown said.
"Selectors have convened and have added fast bowler Shaun Tait to the contract list for the coming year."
