Australian Shane Watson will start a 12-day camp under Dennis Lillee at Chennai's "Pace Foundation" this week in a bid to combat injury.

A member of the one-day side that won a third consecutive World Cup in the Caribbean recently, the 26-year-old all-rounder has suffered stress-related injuries to his back, hamstring and calves.

"He is coming here to straighten his technique and work with Lillee," Foundation coach T A Sekhar said on Tuesday.

"Most of the time, injuries occur because of faulty technique," added Sekhar, a former India fast bowler and national selector.

Pace great Lillee periodically visits the foundation where he is chief coach.

Australia's left-arm fast-medium bowler Mitchell Johnson will also attend the camp along with the team's fast-bowling coach Troy Cooley, Sekhar said.
