Tye replaces injured Richardson for in Australian squad for India ODIs

Kane Richardson was ruled out of the five-match ODI series after he failed to recover from an injury suffered during a training session ahead of the T20I series against India. He has been replaced by Andrew Tye.

Faster bowler Andrew Tye was named as replacement of injured Kane Richardson who on Wednesday was ruled out of the five-match ODI series against India. Richardson failed to recover from an injury he picked up during the training session in the lead up to the two-match T20I series.

Richardson sustained the injury while batting in the nets in Hyderabad last week, ahead of the first T20 international in Vizag.

The 28-year-old trained here on Tuesday but after bowling a handful of balls left the practice nets.

"Kane reported some left side pain at training prior to the opening T20I in Vizag," Australia team physio David Beakley said in the statement.

"Unfortunately, he has not recovered well enough to play further in the tour. Kane will return home to continue his rehabilitation, and we (will) monitor his progress over the coming weeks," he said.

It leaves the visitors with only four fit fast bowlers for the final T20I here on Wednesday, where a win will seal a series win for them.

Australia have never won a T20 series against India, at home or abroad, and will be desperate to build on the momentum from the thrilling final-ball three-wicket win on Sunday.
