 McGrath will make his comeback for New South Wales |
Australia will be without injured fast bowler Glenn McGrath for the third and fourth Tests against India. McGrath missed the first two matches following ankle surgery in August and will not recover in time to face India.
"Glenn had a scan on Tuesday and it's improved a lot but he's still not right to play," said New South Wales team spokesman Glenn Daniel.
"He's aiming for the New South Wales game against Victoria starting on 9 January."
The news comes as a major blow to Australia, who trail 1-0 in the series after India won the second Test in Adelaide by four wickets on Tuesday.
Australian selectors face some difficult decisions with fast bowler Jason Gillespie struggling with a groin strain picked up in Adelaide.
Brad Williams has a shoulder complaint but Brett Lee is set to return from stomach and ankle injuries for the third Test, starting in Melbourne on 26 December.
