Nathan Ellis Out for UK Tour Due to Injury

Nathan Ellis has been ruled out of Australia's T20I series against Scotland and the subsequent matches in England due to a hamstring injury sustained while playing in The Hundred. Cricket Australia confirmed that Ellis would return home for recovery, missing a chance to lead the pace attack with key players like Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins rested. His absence is a significant blow, as he was looking to solidify his place in the national team following a promising T20 World Cup performance. Australia has already secured a 1-0 lead in the series against Scotland, with a notable victory in the first match where Travis Head was named Player of the Match. Josh Hazlewood has recovered from injury and will join the squad in the UK, while Riley Meredith will continue to provide support. A replacement for Ellis for the upcoming ODI series against England has yet to be announced.
