South Australia wicketkeeper Graham Manou has been called to India to join the Australian squad after Tim Paine suffered a badly broken finger.

 

Tasmanian Paine broke his left ring finger when taking a Peter Siddle bouncer in the eighth over as Australia slumped to a 99-run loss to India in the second ODI in Nagpur on Thursday. Paine saw out the match but will now return home to recuperate, while Manou was flying out on Thursday and will arrive in time for the next game in the seven-match series in Delhi on Saturday.

 

Manou made his international debut as a replacement for the injured Brad Haddin during the third Test of the recent Ashes series in England.
