New headache for Australia
Australia's injury-ravaged side has been dealt another blow after all-rounder Moises Henriques withdrew from the fifth one-day international against India.
Having already lost Brett Lee, Peter Siddle, all-rounder James Hopes and wicketkeeper Tim Paine and with vice-captain Michael Clarke not in the touring party, Henriques' absence mean the Baggy Greens are likely to go into Thursday's match in Hyderabad with just 13 players fit and available.
Henriques, who only joined the tour as an injury replacement for Hopes, suffered a hamstring strain while fielding in the fourth match of the series.
Australia coach Tim Nielsen said: "Henriques has suffered a right hamstring injury and will not be playing Thursday's ODI."
No decision has yet been made on whether to fly out an additional player to bolster the squad for the remaining two matches of a series which is poised at 2-2 after the tourists' impressive win in Mohali.
