Australia opener David Warner has been ruled out of the rest of the one-day international series against England and faces a race against time to be fit for next month`s tour of Bangladesh after breaking his thumb at Lord`s on Saturday Sep 05,2015
Australia have called up Aaron Finch, the World Cup-winning opener now with English county champions Yorkshire -- coached by former fast bowling champion Jason Gillespie -- for next week`s remaining three one-dayers against England.
David Warner will now travel with the squad to Manchester, where the third of a
five-match contest starts Tuesday, and fly home on Monday, with a
replacement to be announced, a Cricket Australia spokesman said.
It is expected that his recovery time will take between four to six weeks.His best-case scenario has Warner, Australia`s vice-captain, fit for the first Test in Bangladesh on October 9, but likely to mis the tour match which starts on October 3.
