India vs Australia Test: Top batsman ruled out from test series

The third Test vs Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy will begin on March 1 at Holkar stadium in Indore. The Indian team will have four days to hit the nets and prepare for the game. India vs Australia Test: Top batsman ruled out from test series.

Australia opening batsman David Warner has been ruled out of the ongoing Test series against India after suffering a hairline fracture in the second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The 36-year-old opener suffered two injuries within minutes of each other during the second Test in Delhi.

A Mohammad Siraj ball hit Warner on his elbow, which resulted in a small hairline fracture before a concussion led to him being replaced by Matthew Renshaw. The Australian cricket board further said that the veteran batter will undergo rehabilitation and is expected to return for the three-match ODI series, which is scheduled from March 17 to 22.

“After further assessment, he will require a period of rehabilitation which will preclude any further involvement in the remainder of the Test series. It is currently anticipated that he will return to India for the three One-Day Internationals which follow the Test Series.”

India defeated Australia by six wickets in the second Test in Delhi to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia head coach Andrew McDonald on Monday (February 20) said that the management was in no rush to make a decision on Warner’s availability for the third Test, which starts on March 1 in Indore.
