New South Wales fast bowler Sean Abbott has been added to the Australian squad for the Gillette T20 INTL Series against Sri Lanka, replacing the injured Andrew Tye.

Tye was today ruled out of the squad with an elbow injury sustained in practice yesterday, but will remain with the team for tomorrow’s Gillette T20 INTL Series opener in Adelaide.

Abbott will join the squad in Brisbane on Monday for the second game of the series.
He was a member of the Australia A one-day squad which toured England earlier this year and has played one one-day international and three 20 Twenty Internationals.
