Mitchell Owen, Lance Morris, and Matt Short have all been ruled out of Australias T20I decider and upcoming ODI series against South Africa.
After being struck on the helmet by Kagiso Rabada in Darwin, Mitchell Owen suffered a concussion. Although he initially passed an on-field assessment, he suffered delayed symptoms after being dismissed. Owen now faces a mandatory 12-day stand-down, which means he will miss the final T20I and the entire ODI series, including his first ODI appearance.
Lance Morris will also miss the ODI series due to back soreness. His participation in the Australia A tour of India is uncertain since his continuing back issues have forced him to return to Perth for further assessment.
