AUS vs IND: Josh Inglis ruled out of fifth Border-Gavaskar Test due to injury
Josh Inglis will be unavailable for the fifth and final Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia after picking up an injury.
The wicketkeeper-batter sustained a calf strain while fielding as a substitute during the second day of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The 29-year-old will be sidelined for the final clash of the India series in Sydney, a Cricket Australia spokesperson confirmed on Sunday.
“A replacement in the squad for the fifth Test match in Sydney will be announced in due course,” said an Australian team spokesperson.
“Inglis is anticipated to be available for Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka which follows the home Test Series. His availability for the Big Bash League will be determined by his return to play management plan.”
While Inglis is yet to make his Test debut, he has played more than 50 white-ball matches for Australia and was a key member of the team that won the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in India last year.
