Sean Abbott’s tour of Sri Lanka is over before it started after breaking a finger in the nets, while Cameron Green and Alex Carey will start theirs early after being added to the Australia A squad.
Abbott, the fast bowler who played both white-ball formats for Australia on their most recent series in Pakistan, is heading home after a net bowler struck him on the hand and fractured his left index finger at training this week.
The 30-year-old was only in Australia’s T20I squad for the tour beginning Tuesday evening but was expected to stay on with the A side that is playing two 50-over games and two four-day matches in Colombo and Hambantota. (Cricket Australia)
