Australia will contemplate sending extra gamers house from India as they give the impression of being to downsize their squad forward of the ultimate two Tests.

Experienced fast Josh Hazlewood has already left the 18-man squad and flown again to Sydney after battling to beat a persistent achilles harm.

The 32-year-old has performed simply three of Australia’s final 16 Tests resulting from niggling harm points over the previous two years.

Veteran opener David Warner will depart India on Wednesday after struggling a concussion and a fractured elbow through the second Test loss in Delhi.

Captain Pat Cummins flew house on Sunday due to a severe household sickness, however Australia expect him to return for the third Test in Indore, beginning on March 1.

Bowling allrounder Ashton Agar and out-of-form batter Matt Renshaw will probably depart the Australian camp if the hierarchy resolve they’re definitively not of their plans for the third and fourth Tests.

Australia will make an announcement about any additional modifications to their 18-man squad on Wednesday.

“We’re working through that so it won’t be form as such but there’s cricket going on back home,” Australia coach Andrew McDonald mentioned.

“With a few players now becoming fit and available, are we carrying too many?

“We’ve obtained to be clear on what we wish to obtain within the subsequent two Test matches when it comes to the construction of the group.

“It will not be type associated, it might be extra we would like our gamers enjoying the place they are often and never simply being carried round in equipment baggage, specifically when there’s cricket occurring again house.”

Australia have more than a week to piece together how a tour that started with so much promise quickly descended into a debacle.

India will retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy for the fourth straight time after winning the second Test in Delhi by six wickets to take an unbeatable 2-0 advantage in the four-match series.

Australia’s hopes of securing the trophy went up in flames during a chaotic 90 minutes of batting on Sunday, losing 9-48 to blow their shot at a game there for the taking.

Allrounder Cameron Green will almost certainly return to bat at No.6 in the third Test, while left-arm quick Mitchell Starc will also be pushing for selection.

Legspinner Mitchell Swepson left the squad after the opening Test in Nagpur to be with his partner ahead of the birth of their first child.

Swepson is predicted to be again across the squad forward of the Test in Indore.
