Although there are reports about David Warner that he has just been ruled out of the INDvsAUS Test series. After this, in the ODI series, he can come back. The possibility of David Warner being out was already being expressed, which has now been stamped. Due to the continuous exit of players, the team will be seen struggling with the crisis of its playing eleven in the coming third test. One way or the other the team will have to make the playing XI. It is another matter that David Warner's bat has not yet moved. He has played three innings so far. Warner opened the batting in the first innings of the second Test, but he injured his elbow before the second innings so he did not come out to bat.

However, only two matches have been played in the INDvsAUS four-Test series and two are left. Team India has taken an edge by winning the first two matches of the series, but two matches are yet to be played. Team captain Pat Cummins has also returned home after losing two matches. Although he is not injured, he is said to have returned from some domestic work. Along with this, Josh Hazlewood is also out.

The third Test of the INDvsAUS series will happen in Indore on March 1. Earlier this match was to be held in Dharamshala, but in between it was changed to Indore. The Dharamshala ground is not yet ready to host the Test. That's why the venue had to change in a hurry. Meanwhile, Australia captain Pat Cummins has returned. There is still about a week left in the third test. Pat Cummins can also return in this. If he does not come back, then who will take over the responsibility of captaincy, it will also be a big question for the team. They can give the command of the team to Steve Smith.

Although the replacement of David Warner and Josh Hazlewood has not been announced by Cricket Australia yet. There is a possibility that Cameron Green can join the team in the third INDvsAUS Test. But the question is whether he will be able to bowl. As his old injury is not yet fully recovered, it may be difficult if Green bowls.

Meanwhile, the good news for Australia is that the team's star fast bowler Mitchell Starc is fully fit. He will play in the next INDvsAUS match. The team has now two good fast bowlers, Scott Boland, and Mitchell Starc. But whether the team would want to go with two fast bowlers is the big question. However, the good thing for the team is that spinners Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy are fine and they will play in the next match as well. It will be difficult for the Australian team to deal with this difficult time and whether they will be able to come back after winning the next match of the INDvsAUS series.
