Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive James Sutherland called a press conference in Melbourne on Thursday night to make a statement about the troubled Queenslander. Sutherland said Symonds, 33, broke a number of rules "in the last 24-48 hours" and CA were now organising flights to get him back to Australia. Symonds' CA contract, which he retained only last month, is also now under review, Sutherland said. "In isolation the breaches that I am talking about are not serious, but in the scheme of things, in the scheme of history, they are enough for it to be the final straw," Sutherland said. The Australians were due to face the West Indies on Saturday in their first match of the tournament, but they will now do so without Symonds. Captain Ricky Ponting will shortly front another press conference in London to address the situation. The Australian team's leadership group had a meeting after becoming aware of the situation and expressed their concerns to CA. A CA board meeting on Thursday night then endorsed the leadership group's concerns and they are talking to the International Cricket Council about organising a possible replacement player. It is likely Symonds' international career could now be over after the latest in a long list of problems off the field. Symonds, who failed to earn selection in Australia's Ashes squad announced last month, has been embroiled in a series of off-field indiscretions over the past year. He was suspended from the national team in September last year for going fishing instead of attending a team meeting, while Symonds also had a run-in with a fan in a Brisbane hotel in November. He played the first four Tests of the Australian summer before he was sidelined due to a knee operation. The Queenslander was then barred from the squad that toured South Africa this year and fined by Cricket Australia after criticising New Zealand's Brendon McCullum on a radio show. Symonds, who was also suspended in 2005 for arriving for a match under the influence of alcohol, received counselling earlier this year and returned to national colours in the victorious one-day series win over Pakistan in Dubai in April. He was picked in the World Twenty20 squad after playing in the Indian Premier League, but he now has to pack his bags and head home.
