AUS vs WI T20I: Star player Marcus Stoinis ruled out of West Indies series

Australia have been dealt a huge blow in the build-up to the T20 World Cup as star player Marcus Stoinis has been ruled out of the West Indies series. The side strain to the star player has seen him miss the home series that is due to start on Wednesday as Nicholas Pooran’s team makes the trip Down Under.

Stoinis has remained in Perth where he will link up with the squad at the weekend and will therefore miss the T20I series in Gold Coast. He has not traveled with the team to Queensland and will work on his fitness instead. The two-match T20I series will be the perfect opportunity for Australia to bounce back from the 1-2 series defeat they suffered against India last week.

The Aussies missed Stoinis in the India



series while the likes of Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Marsh were also missing from the team for the crunch India series.
