Australia's vice-captain Shane Watson has left the tour of India just hours after being told he and three other players would not be considered for the third Test for ignoring team orders. However, Cricket Australia has denied Watson's departure was a result of the decision, which was unprecedented in Australian cricket, and that he was heading home to be with his pregnant wife Lee Furlong, who is expecting the couple's first child.The baby was due shortly after the end of the Indian tour and Watson had already been granted leave to fly home early if required. A Cricket Australia spokesman said that process had been "accelerated" due to a change at home and that it was yet to be confirmed whether Watson would return to the tour ahead of the fourth Test, which starts in Delhi on Friday next week.
