Josh Inglis, Reece Topley and Chameera ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to injuries

Josh Inglis has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup owing to a hand injury he sustained while playing golf in Sydney on Wednesday. Cameron Green has been picked as his replacement in the squad. Australia will be without a backup wicketkeeper option for Matthew Wade.

The Australian selectors picked Green over Alex Carey, who is a like-for-like replacement for Inglis. Green impressed everyone during the three-match T20I series against India, scoring two quick half-centuries. Australia will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against New Zealand on Saturday in Sydney.
