India vs Australia: Kane Richardson pulls out of ODI, T20I series to be with new born son

Australia fast bowler Kane Richardson has decided to pull out of the upcoming white-ball series against India to be with his new born son, Cricket Australia confirmed on Wednesday.

Richardson will be replaced by Andrew Tye in the ODI and T20I squads. India's tour of Australia will begin with the 1st ODI in Sydney on November 27.

Richardson has played 25 ODIs and 21 T20Is for Australia since his debut in 2013 and has picked 39 and 22 wickets in both the formats respectively.

The 33-year-old Tye has played 7 ODIs and 26 T20 internationals and was a backup paceman on Australia's recent tour to England, which finished with an ODI series win over the World Cup winners.

"It was a difficult decision for Kane to make but one which has the complete support of the selectors and the entire playing squad. Kane wanted to remain in Adelaide with Nyki and their  new born son.

"We will always support our players and their families, even more so given the challenging environment we are in. We will miss what he brings to the team but completely understand and support his decision," national selector Trevor Hohns said in a statement.

CA meanwhile, also announced that D'Arcy Short and Josh Philippe will train with the Australian limited-overs squads in Sydney from next week before they join their Big Bash sides. The decision was taken due to the fresh coronavirus outbreak in South Australia.

The new cases in South Australia are up to 20 from a cluster in northern Adelaide, and health officials have also identified 14 others who are considered at high risk of having the virus.
