Indian team got a major setback as opener Prithvi Shaw who got injured during the warm-up match has been ruled out of the four-match Test series against Australia.
According to ICC, Shaw will miss the third Test match at Melbourne Cricket Ground and the fourth at Sydney Cricket Ground. India's domestic cricket talent Mayank Agarwal will replace the teenage sensation.
Shaw had suffered a left ankle injury while attempting a catch in a practice game against Cricket Australia XI.
The 19 year old from Mumbai had scored 66 in that game in Sydney.
"The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Mayank Agarwal as his replacement," said a BCCI release.
With KL Rahul failing terribly in two Tests, the team management may hand Test debut to 27-year-old Agrawal, who plays for Karnataka.
Rahul scored 2 and 44 in Adelaide but managed 2 and 0 in Perth, where India are staring at a defeat.
Agarwal who has played 46 first class games, scored 25 and 53 for his Ranji side against Gujarat in his last match.
