"She's since been assessed and it's evident that the timeframes required for a return during this series are too short," Australia team physiotherapist Kate Beerworth told cricket.com.au.

"Jess will be unavailable for the remainder of the series and will return to Brisbane to continue her rehab."

Her replacement Wellington last played a T20 on the tour of India back in 2018.
