Australian team is currently on a tour of the United Kingdom, where it is currently playing a three-match T20 series against Scotland and after that they have to play T20 and ODI series against England. Meanwhile, the Australian team has suffered a major setback in the form of fast bowler Nathan Ellis who is now out of the entire UK tour. This is also a big setback for the Australian team because earlier Josh Hazlewood was ruled out of this entire tour, while Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins were already rested for the series against Scotland
Ellis was injured during The Hundred
It was expected that Nathan Ellis would be fit for the series against Scotland and lead the Australian bowling attack. At the same time, Cricket Australia itself has confirmed that he is out of this entire tour and will return to the country. Nathan Ellis suffered a hamstring injury while playing in The Hundred, in which he was playing for the London Spirit team. Ellis has played 17 T20 Internationals so far, out of which he played three in the T20 World Cup 2024. In the absence of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Ellis also had a great opportunity to prove himself on this tour, but due to injury he had to return to the country.
Riley Meredith will now remain with the team
In the first match of the T20 series against Scotland, the Australian team gave a chance to Riley Meredith, who will now remain with the team after Nathan Ellis was ruled out. Meredith's playing has given a big blow to the Somerset team playing in the T20 Blast, who were expecting him to return to the team for the final match of this tournament on 7 September.
