Will Warner Be Match-Ready?

March 16, 2023 12:30 IST

Australia is all set to play three ODIs against India starting from Friday at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai and the availability of left-handed opener David Warner is uncertain.

As per a report in The Sydney Morning Herald, Warner will be examined by the Australian medical staff after batting in the nets before a final call is made on his availability for the series.

Warner was ruled out of Australia's tour of India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series midway through the second Test in New Delhi due to concussion. He also picked up a hairline fracture in his elbow too.
