SYDNEY: Australia opening batsman David Warner will return home from India and miss the last two Tests after an elbow fracture and concussion, Cricket Australia said Tuesday.
It is the second injury blow in two days for struggling Australia, who are 2-0 down in the four-Test series.
Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood was sent home Monday after failing to recover from an Achilles tendon injury.
Warner was hit on the helmet shortly after being struck on the elbow on the opening day of the second Test defeat in Delhi. He was replaced by concussion substitute Matt Renshaw.
Warner, who scored just 26 runs as Australia lost both of the opening two matches, will miss the third and fourth Tests at Indore and Ahmedabad but it is hoped he can return for the subsequent one-day series.
“David Warner has been ruled out of the Test tour of India and will return home,” a Cricket Australia statement said.
