IND vs AUS: Australian Wicket-Keeper Batter Ruled Out Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy Due To Calf Strain Ahead Of Sydney Test
ABP NewsMelbourne: Australia's wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis has been ruled out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series after suffering a calf strain while fielding during the ongoing fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Inglis, also the reserve batter in the Test team, was on substitute fielding duties with spare bowler Sean Abbott but suffered a low-grade strain when on the field during day two’s play. With Australia's Test squad slated to have a pre-tour camp prior to their tour of Sri Lanka, starting with the first Test in Galle on January 29, Inglis is now in a race against time for being fit for the trip which is a part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship cycle. Inglis absence for the upcoming Sydney Test also means there could be a slight chance for right-handed batter Nathan McSweeney to return to the squad.
