Nathan Ellis to miss Australia's UK tour with hamstring injury

Bowler Nathan Ellis has been ruled out of Australia's upcoming white-ball tour of the United Kingdom due to a hamstring injury.

Ellis, who made his international debut in the recently concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka, suffered the injury during a training session in Darwin.

The 26-year-old was a key member of Australia's T20 World Cup squad last year, and his absence will be a blow to the team's hopes of success in the UK.

Ellis' injury is the latest in a long line of setbacks for Australia's fast bowlers in recent months. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins have all been sidelined with injuries at various points over the past year.

The latest injury blow comes as Australia prepare to face England in a three-match ODI series and a three-match T20I series in the UK next month.

Ellis' absence means that Australia will be without one of their most experienced bowlers for the tour. The right-armer has taken 20 wickets in 15 T20Is for Australia, and he was expected to play a key role in the team's attack in the UK.

Australia will now have to find a replacement for Ellis in their squad. The selectors are likely to call up a young bowler, such as Wes Agar or Riley Meredith, to take his place.

The injury to Ellis is a setback for Australia, but it is not a major blow. The team has a number of other experienced bowlers who can step up in his absence.

Australia will be hoping that Ellis can recover from his injury in time to be fit for the T20 World Cup later this year.
