Ellis out of last two Scotland T20Is and England tour with hamstring injury

Hazlewood has recovered from a minor calf strain and will join the squad before the first T20I against England

www.espncricinfo.com

A hamstring injury sustained in the Hundred has denied Nathan Ellis the opportunity to nail down a spot in Australia's T20I side, ruling him out of the rest of their series against Scotland and the eight subsequent white-ball games in England.

Ellis was targeting the Scotland series as a rare chance to lead Australia's attack, with Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins rested and Josh Hazlewood out with a calf niggle. But Cricket Australia announced on Friday that he had not recovered from his hamstring tendon injury in time to be considered for selection and would fly home imminently.

The timing of the injury - picked up while playing for London Spirit in the Hundred - is particularly frustrating for Ellis. He has played 17 T20Is, including three appearances at the 2024 T20 World Cup, but his opportunities have generally depended on at least one of the 'big three' quicks being rested.

Riley Meredith, who played his first international match since 2021 on Wednesday in Australia's thrashing of Scotland in the first T20I, will stay with the squad as cover. It has left Somerset expecting to be without Meredith on T20 Blast Finals Day on Saturday, which takes place between the second and third matches of the England series.
