Australian pace spearhead Mitchell Johnson has been rested until the tri-series final in Perth despite bowling with good pace in the practice session.
Reflecting on Johnson's fitness, skipper George Bailey said that he was going reasonably well and wouldn't be playing in Monday's clash against India, adding that he would be building up for Perth.
Bailey further said that Johnson would be pretty keen to have a crack in Perth, which is regarded as one of the quickest and bounciest pitch in the world, the report added.
Johnson is yet to appear for Australia in the Tri-Series after picking up hamstring injury in the Tests against India, but he is on the comeback trail ahead of next month's World Cup.
