Marcus Stoinis Ruled Out Of West Indies T20Is Due To Side Strain

Star all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who was originally named in the squad for West Indies T20Is, has been ruled out of the T20I series as he continues his recovery from a side strain.

“Stoinis has not travelled with Australia’s squad to the Gold Coast ahead of the first game of a two-match series against West Indies on Wednesday. He has instead remained in Perth to continue his recovery,” as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.

Notably, Stoinis, who has been a mainstay of Australia’s T20I middle-order over the last few years, suffered the injury on September 8 during the ODI game against New Zealand National Cricket Team. Also, he has been suffering side strains on both sides of his body over the last three years on a regular basis.
