Australia suffer another setback on Monday. When fast bowler Kane Richardson force to return home with a hamstring injury ahead of the first ODIs against Sri Lanka. Test captain Pat Cummins, on the other hand, will return to the side for the five-match ODI series, which begins on Tuesday, after recovering from a long-standing injury.
Richardson sustained his injury during the warm-up for the final Twenty20 international match. But he played on Saturday before the severity of his injury was revealed in a scan the next day.
“I wasn’t aware of the injury during the game. So it was pretty impressive of him to get through a T20 game of that intensity. ” Captain Aaron Finch said as he named his team for the first ODI.
Following the injuries to paceman Mitchell Starc and all-rounders Sean Abbott and Mitchell Marsh, Richardson named to the ODI squad.
The ODIs follow a Twenty20 series that Australia won 2-1, thanks to skipper Dasun Shanaka’s brilliant 54 off 25 balls in the final game.
