All-rounder James Faulkner has ruled himself out of competing in Australia's World Cup match against Bangladesh on Saturday due to injury.
The 24-year-old has been struggling with a side strain that he picked up during the Tri-Series last month and will not be fit in time for the Aussies' second World Cup clash.
"I'm no chance," ESPNcricinfo quotes Faulkner as saying. "Everyone is a little bit unsure but hopefully the rehab I've done with the medical staff has kept me in good shape for what's to come.
"I haven't been given any fitness deadline, I'm not sure what their plan is with that. I'll just do as I'm told with the medical staff and concentrate on that. It's rehab 24/7 for me and will continue to be until I'm back."
Australia began their campaign in Pool A with an emphatic 111-run victory over England in Melbourne.
