All-rounder Moises Henriques was on Monday added to Australia’s injury-hit squad for the opening Test against India while pacer Sean Abott was ruled out of the match due to a calf strain.
Henriques, who had missed the three-day second practice game due to a low-grade hamstring strain, cleared the fitness Test on Monday to return to the Test squad after a gap of four years.
“All-rounder Moises Henriques has been added to Australia’s squad for the first Vodafone Test against India after the hosts’ camp continues to be hit with injury,” a report in cricket.com.au. Said.
Abbott became the latest Australian player to join the injury list after being picking up the strain during the second warm-up game in Sydney which ended in a draw. He is, however, expected to be available for the second Test in Melbourne, which begins on December 26.
