Australia's Tour Of UK: Cricket Australia have announced that star pacer Spencer Johnson has been ruled out of the upcoming white-ball cricket tour of United Kingdom due to an injury. Veteran all-rounder Sean Abbott, who is currently plaing in 'The Hundred Men's 2024', has been named as his replacement.
Spencer Johnson is next in line to carry the legacy of Australia's left-arm pace department, as he has a huge chip on his shoulders to fill in the shoes of Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc.
The left-arm pacer's rise has been very instant and prominent, and Cricket Australia will be expecting a fully-fit Spencer Johnson soon on the pitch.

"Australian medical staff have confirmed the 28-year-old will return home to undergo rehabilitation on the injury ahead of the home summer, rather than play next month. The South Australian's injury means Sean Abbott has been added to Australia's T20 squad, having already been in the group for the one-day internationals," said Cricket Australia in a released statement.
