Meanwhile, Jonassen has been replaced by another star spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington who is expected to reach India by Tuesday (December 13). Australia women routed India by nine wickets in the first T20I on December 9 as the second match will be played on Sunday (December 11). Jonassen strained her hamstring while fielding in the first match. 

Kate Beerworth, Australia's physiotherapist updated on Sunday that Jonassen would return home to Australia to continue her rehabilitation.

"Unfortunately Jess sustained a right hamstring strain while fielding during the match on Friday," Beerworth told told cricket.com.au.

"She's since been assessed and it's evident that the timeframes required for a return during this series are too short. Jess will be unavailable for the remainder of the series and will return to Brisbane to continue her rehab," Beerworth further added.

Jonassen's replacement Wellington last played a T20I on the tour of India back in 2018.
