Ahead of the third Test, Australia have received twin injury updates.

Their out-of-form opener David Warner is the latest to be hit by injury in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

[{ "selector": ".xfqmm-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Before Warner, Josh Hazlewood was also ruled out for the remaining two Tests vs India.

Hazlewood joins Pat Cummins in returning home because of his long-standing Achilles injury.

[{ "selector": ".grenb-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Warner was hit by a Mohammed Siraj delivery on Day 1 of the second Test in Delhi.

[{ "selector": ".nzuid-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

He was then ruled out of the remaining two Test matches because of an elbow injury and a concussion.

[{ "selector": ".rkxsq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 4px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The opener has struggled for form, with scores of 1, 10 and 15 in the innings that he has played in India.

[{ "selector": ".qgttu-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 13px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

In his absence, Travis Head will continue to open for India.

[{ "selector": ".nplul-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 8px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

However, the returns of Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green from their respective injuries will surely boost them.
