Injured Stoinis out of Australia’s final match against New Zealand
All-rounder sustained side strain and will undergo rehabilitation in Perth
Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been ruled out of tomorrow’s third and final one-dayer against New Zealand in Cairns with a side strain, and opener David Warner has been rested, the home side said today.
Stoinis, who had sustained a “low-level side strain”, would undergo rehabilitation in Perth leading into the team’s tour of India later this month.
