The experienced Australian bowler Josh Hazelwood has been ruled out from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after his Ankle injury. It was expected that bowler might return but he did not recover from his injury.
However, there is another reason to make the Australian fans happy. Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green who were not the part of the first two Tests are now claimed to be fit for the third Test, which begins in Indore on March 1. Both are making progress following severe finger injuries. Matthew Kuhnemann was chosen as the third spinner and did well in his first Test.
Before Hazelwood news, It was previously announced that the Australia Test cricket captain Pat Cummins will take a little break and fly to his country as his family is facing illness. Ahead of the third Test, the 29-year-old will go to Sydney before rejoining the team in India.
In the series thus far, Cummins has taken three wickets at an average of 39.66 as Australia has been outplayed by India and has lost the first two Tests.
Australian Squad vs India:
Australia squad: Pat Cummins (c), Ashton Agar, Scott Boland, Alex Carey (wk), Cameron Green, Peter Handscomb, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Matt Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Lance Morris, Todd Murphy, Matthew Renshaw, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson, David Warner
