Australia batter Rachael Haynes has been ruled out of the upcoming pink-ball Test and three T20Is against India.
Haynes had suffered a right hamstring injury during the third ODI against India which was played on Sunday was forced to leave the field during Australia's bowling."Unfortunately her hamstring is no good," cricket.com.au quoted Australia head coach Matthew Mott as saying.

"She's devastated — obviously Test matches don't come around too often, she's a key member of our squad so our thoughts are with her at the moment," he added.
As a result, Beth Mooney is likely to open alongside Alyssa Healy in the pink-ball Test against India, beginning on Thursday.
Mott also said that he is hopeful of leg-spinner Georgia Wareham being declared fit to make her debut."Georgia's ticking all the boxes for her return to play. She was very sensible around that -- she felt something quite early, got treatment and has been doing everything she can to get it right," said Mott.
