We got it before it did too much damage. We&#39;d played three matches in three days (for Islamabad). I tried to bowl a slower ball but put too many revs on it and it twinged a bit. I&#39;m very confident I&#39;ll be right for the World Cup,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;That&#39;s still three or four weeks away. This sort of injury, it&#39;s not a huge injury. It&#39;s not like a side strain or anything like that. If everything goes to plan, I&#39;ll be right,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Australia&#39;s T20 squad will leave on February 28 to play three warm-up matches against South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
