David Warner ruled out of final two Tests due to elbow fracture
While his concussion symptoms have subsided, his elbow remains an issue. It was initially thought that the hairline fracture was so minor that could play in Indore.
As of Monday night Warner was intending to stay in India to try and play the third Test. But after further testing on his pain and his range of motion, he was officially ruled out and will return home with his family.
Australia are unlikely to call up any batters as cover. Travis Head is set to open the batting in Indore after filling in for Warner in the second innings in Delhi. Head made an enterprising 43 in Delhi and looked in excellent touch having only previously opened twice in first-class cricket in a county championship match for Worcestershire in 2018. Australia coach Andrew McDonald stressed on Monday that Head opening was not a long-term solution in all conditions but that he was well-suited to open in the sub-continent.
Australia may release some squad members to return home to play some domestic cricket with any changes to be finalised on Wednesday.
