The reigning T20 World Cup champions have decided not to take any risks with the 27-year-old and dropped him from their 15-player squad.
Inglis’ loss opened the door for Cameron Green to continue his recent growth in international cricket.
Australia’s T20I series in India:-
The 23-year-old joined the team after impressing at the top of the order during Australia’s T20I series in India last month.
Green struck two half-centuries for Australia when replacing veteran opener David Warner at the top of the order and the tournament’s hosts may use the right-handed batsman in a similar role in the T20 World Cup.
While Inglis is a capable batsman, his primary role in the Australia team was as a backup wicketkeeper to Matthew Wade and he could not play during the tournament unless Wade suffered an injury.
Warner held the first wicket for Australia at the Test level:-
With the 35-year-old filling in for regular keeper Brad Haddin during a Test match against Pakistan in 2014, Warner held the first wicket for Australia at the Test level.
Australia’s first match in the T20 World Cup is against trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday night.
