Cricket Australia chief executive, James Sutherland has now flown to Sri Lanka to resolve the crisis. Sutherland will brief Australian players on the Argus Review, but he is likely to consult Greg Chappell to see whether the dumped selector will stay on for Michael Clarke''s first test series as captain. Chappell has been the selector on duty for the current one-day series, but was due to fly out of the subcontinent on Sunday after a tour match against a Sri Lankan Board XI with Andrew Hilditch. Hilditch has, however, announced he will step down following the recommendations of the Argus Review and has informed Sutherland he will not be going to Sri Lanka, The Daily Telegraph reports.
