Opener recovering from adductor muscle injuryJoe Burns dropped from squad for next week’s
Sydney TestDavid Warner may play the third Test against
India even if he is short of full fitness as Australia look to the veteran opener to strengthen the top order. Warner was ruled out of the first two Tests in Adelaide and Melbourne after tearing an adductor muscle, but has been included in the 18-man squad for the match at the Sydney
Cricket Ground starting on 7 January.
With opener Joe Burns dropped after a woeful Melbourne Test, Australia will have a new opening partnership as they look to rebound from an eight-wicket defeat and take a 2-1 lead in the series.
