Australian opener David Warner will not be playing in the remaining one-day matches against India due to his groin injury during the second ODI.
D'Arcy Short will replace Warner in the Australian T20I squad for the three-match series begining Friday. Right-arm pacer Pat Cummins has been given rest ahead of the upcoing test series.
David Warner suffered a groin strain in Australia's 51-run win at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. He returned home to begin his rehab hoping to be fit till the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that is scheduled to begin from December 17 at the Adelaide Oval.
The left-handed batsman scored half-centuries in both the ODIs and provided good start for Australia with 156 and 142-run opening partnerships with Australian captain Aaron Finch.
"Pat and Davie are critical to our plans for the Test series," head coach Justin Langer was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
"Davie will work through his injury rehab and in Pat's case it is important all of our players are managed well to keep them mentally and physically fit throughout what is a challenging summer. The priority for both is being fully prepared for one of the biggest and most important home Test series we have played in recent years, especially with World Test Championship points up for grabs," he added.
Earlier, Marcus Stoinis had suffered a side strain in the first ODI because of which he couldn't take part in the second match. However, he continues to remain with the squad.
Australia have already won the ODI series and will look to go for a clean sweep when they take on the Men in Blue at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday.
