Australia quick bowler Josh Hazlewood will miss the rest of the Boundary Gavaskar Test series in the wake of neglecting to recuperate from his left Achilles injury adequately. Lead trainer Andrew McDonald affirmed that Hazlewood, who missed the Nagpur and Delhi Tests, will presently proceed with his recovery program back in Sydney. The 32-year-old quick bowler has been plagued by side strains in the last two seasons and got this Achilles injury on his rebound Test against South Africa in Sydney while running on the soaked patches of the SCG outfield.

While McDonald affirmed Hazlewood's inaccessibility until the end of the series, he was less sure about David Warner's status. The unique opener copped a disaster for his elbow in the Delhi Test and was hence subbed out of the game with a blackout.

"Josh Hazlewood out, he'll be returning home," McDonald said on Monday, a day after Australia went 0-2 down in the series. "[Warner]'s as yet sore right now. We had a gathering not long prior to examining this. We're in no hurry to go with any choices as of now around Davey. Simply perceiving how that settles, how useful that is.

"It will be fundamentally the way that sore and how useful it is regarding what choice we make with him and afterward the length of the injury. There's some discussion the length of injury could be anyplace between seven days in addition to depending how that settles down. There's a touch of obscure there. I'll pass on that to the clinical group and they'll illuminate me once they know."

In Warner's nonappearance, Australia conveyed Travis Head to open the subsequent innings. It's a job the left-hander is supposed to clutch in case of Warner passing up a great opportunity in the wake of dazzling with a counter-going after 43. "In the event that Dave's inaccessible it would seem OK," McDonald said. "We examined prior to coming here that if we somehow managed to lose an initial hitter that Trav would be one we'd hope to set up there. We feel in the subcontinental conditions that he can get off to the quick beginnings which he showed.

"We don't see as an opener in all circumstances, more subcontinental and in different circumstances back to the center request."

In the mean time, McDonald affirmed that all-rounder Cameron Green will be 100 percent fit to play in Indore in the wake of having been genuinely near making it for the Delhi Test as well.

"He was close," McDonald said. "It's building certainty. He had the misfortune in Bangalore, a little mishap batting in Bangalore where he made them container and there was a fair piece of uneasiness in that finger. In the event that he didn't have that, I think the subsequent Test was genuine. Yet, it likely postponed it those couple of days.

"Furthermore, we considered him as a blackout sub too. So that was another conversation. Be that as it may, we felt like in the event that he wasn't on the whole correct to go toward the beginning then what was several days. We're in an ideal situation stacking up for the third Test match and in a decent outlook."
