"Fletcher's wife is unwell and he had informed the board that he will join the squad directly in Australia," a BCCI official told PTI Friday (November 21).

The 18-member squad will leave for the tour Down Under post midnight today sans skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, recovering from a thumb injury, who is expected to join the team before the second Test in Adelaide starting December 12.
