Australia middle-order batsman Damien Martyn pulled out of his last warm-up match before the first Ashes Test on Friday with an elbow injury.

Martyn was due to play for Western Australia against Queensland in an interstate one-day match in Perth but withdrew because of tendonitis in his elbow.

Team officials said the injury was not serious but the 35-year-old was ordered to rest as a precaution, Australian Associated Press reported.

Martyn was included in a 13-man Australian squad to play England in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane starting next week.
