KL Rahul has been ruled out of the India's tour of Australia after spraining his wrist during a practice session at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.
Rahul sprained his left wrist while batting in the nets, the BCCI release said. "The wicketkeeper-batsman will not be available for the remaining two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as he will need about three weeks time to recover completely and regain full strength," the release further added.
India had already lost fast bowlers Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav to injuries during this tour, while pacer Ishant Sharma was ruled out after suffering an injury during this year's IPL in UAE.
Even Rohit Sharma, India's current vice-captain, missed most of the tour due to injury and subsequent rehabilitation.
"He (Rahul) will now return to India and head to the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for further rehabilitation of his injury," BCCI said.
