Melbourne, January 4: Australia pacer James Pattinson on Monday was ruled out of the upcoming third Test against India after injuring himself in a fall at his property. Ahead of the third Test against India, Pattinson was on approved leave following the Boxing Day Test. During the leave, the pacer fell at his home and suffered bruised ribs, cricket.com.au reported.
Pattinson has been a part of Australia's Test squad for the Test series against India but he did not play the first two Tests and he was unlikely to play this week's Test in Sydney as regular seamers Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have been in good form.
