Key Questions Answered
Josh Inglis was ruled out of the final two ODIs against South Africa because he suffered a fractured right index finger while keeping wicket during the first ODI in Durban on September 24, 2026.
Inglis is currently doubtful for the three-match Test series starting on October 9, 2026. He will return to Perth for medical scans, and whether he plays depends on his recovery and further assessments.
Australia did not name a direct replacement for Inglis in the squad, but veteran wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey will play the second and third ODIs to keep the gloves.
