Australia will be without opening batsman David Warner for the 1st Test of the series against India.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Warner to miss 1st Test against India <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The opening batsman picked up an adductor muscle injury in the 2nd ODI against India on 29th November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite making progress in his recovery, it has been announced that Warner won’t be ready in time to play at Adelaide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warner issued a statement saying <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I feel I have made great progress in a short amount of time and its best for me to stay here in Sydney to continue working on getting back to full fitness.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The injury feels a lot better but I need to be able to satisfy in my own mind and to my team-mates that it is 100-per-cent ready for Test-match conditions. That includes running between the wickets and being agile in the field.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Right now I feel I am short of being able to play at peak fitness and another 10 days will make a difference.”<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injury is a further blow to the Australia<\/a><\/strong> team, especially given his likely replacement Will Pucovski, could also be ruled out of the Test, after he suffered concussion in the tour match against India A earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only other recognised opener in the Test squad is Joe Burns. So Australia might need to call up reinforcements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is talk about possibly moving Marnus Labuschagne up to open. But that would mean a total rejig of the Australia batting line up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia are hopeful Warner can return for the 2nd Test at the MCG<\/a><\/strong>, starting on Boxing Day in Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warner Playing the Long Game with his Injury<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In coming to this decision, it seems Langer and Warner are playing the long game. Warner’s statement suggests he could play in this match, but that it would be a risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with 3 more Test matches to come against India<\/a><\/strong>, it isn’t a risk worth taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1st Test between Australia and India takes place at the Adelaide Oval. The match starts on 17th December, and is a Day\/Night Test match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
