Australia captain Michael Clarke was excluded from the game Friday triangular series against Sri Lanka in Sydney with a right hamstring injury, Cricket Australia said on Monday.
The selectors will name the Australian team for the next group of games in the series on Tuesday, where we also have to choose a replacement for the captain to fix Friday.
"Michael Clarke suffered a low degree of tension in the right thigh ODI against India in Adelaide on Sunday," Australian team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said in a statement.
"He did tests today (Monday) that confirms the nature of low-grade lesion.
"He will not recover in time to play the game in Australia ... next Friday against Sri Lanka in Sydney, but I will evaluate it and decide later this week about his availability for the match in Brisbane on Sunday, February 19 against India. "
Clarke gave the first news of his injury on Twitter.
"It's good to be back in Sydney ... have an exam this afternoon, will keep you all informed ... Thanks Feeling very positive. For concern," Clarke tweeted earlier on Monday.
After getting their verification reports, Clarke was happy that the injury was a little bit and said he hoped to be back for the game in Australia against India.
"I have a thigh strain level is a way out of the game Friday vs. SL, but I hope to be back on Sunday against India in Brisbane. Good news," he said.
India play Sri Lanka in Adelaide on Tuesday in the fifth game of the triangular series.
