Ellis' hamstring injury kept him out of Scotland T20Is and the England tour

Nathan Ellis's chance to secure a position in Australia's Twenty20 International team has been ruined by a hamstring injury he suffered in the Hundred. He will miss the remaining matches in their series against Scotland as well as the eight white-ball matches that are scheduled against England.

Ellis saw the Scotland series as a unique opportunity to spearhead Australia's assault, because Josh Hazlewood was out due to a calf ache, and Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins were rested. However, Cricket Australia declared on Friday that he would be returning home soon after realizing he had not fully healed from his hamstring tendon injury to be considered for selection. Riley Meredith, who participated in Australia's crushing of Scotland in the opening Twenty20 International on Wednesday, his first international action since 2021, will remain with the team as cover.
