Cricket Australia has called in D’Arcy Short as a replacement for an injured Sean Abbott for the 3-match ODI series vs India starting January 14th. Abbott has been ruled out due to a side strain which the fast bowler suffered during the Big Bash League. Though the Australian management has replaced a seamer with a top-order batsman, but with pacers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Kane Richardson already in the squad, it could be a blessing in disguise for the Kangaroos.
