Australian fast bowler, Kane Richardson, will return home from the Qantas Tour of India after being ruled out with injury.

Bupa Support Team Physiotherapist, David Beakley, said:

“Kane reported some left side pain at training prior to the opening T20I in Vizag.”

“Unfortunately he has not recovered well enough in order to play a further part in the tour.”

“Kane will return home to continue his rehabilitation, and we monitor his progress over the coming weeks.”

The NSP has nominated Andrew Tye as the replacement player.

Andrew along with Shaun Marsh will join the squad in Hyderabad on Thursday.
