Opener ruled out of remainder of white-ball seriesD’Arcy Short called up as a replacementDavid Warner has avoided surgery on his injured groin but is now racing against the clock to play in the first Test of the summer. Warner went down in Sunday night’s ODI series-clinching win with scans confirming a strain that will keep him out of the white-ball matches.
He has been replaced in the Twenty20 squad by D’Arcy Short, but has just 18 days to prove his fitness for the first Test in Adelaide.
