LANGER UNCERTAIN OF WARNER’S FITNESS FOR ADELAIDE TEST

SYDNEY: Australia head coach Justin Langer has stated that he’s not “holding his breath” that opener David Warner will be fit for the first Test of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India.

Warner has been ruled out of the remaining white-ball matches against India after injuring his groin during the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series. He suffered a groin strain in Australia’s 51-run win on Sunday night at the Sydney Cricket Ground and returned home to begin his rehab in the hope to be fit for the first Test to be played at the Adelaide Oval between December 17-21.

“He’s strained his abductor in his groins and they tell me it’s a very painful injury. It looked like he got shot by a gun. He was in incredible pain in the change-rooms after. We’ve just arrived in Canberra, so we won’t see him again for probably five or six days until we get back to Sydney,” Langer told SEN’s Sportsday WA.
