Australia have suffered another setback on their tour of South Africa after pacer Nathan Ellis was ruled out of the third and final ODI following a side strain during the second match in Johannesburg. In the second ODI, Ellis bowled four overs before feeling discomfort in his left side and was unable to continue his spell.

Ellis will now head back home for further medical assessment and rehabilitation. Meanwhile, Australia would hope that he recovers quickly to be available for the upcoming home ODI series against England, which begins on November 13.

Cricket Australia confirmed that left-arm spinner Joel Davies will also leave the tour after suffering a hamstring injury while fielding as a substitute during the second match. Davies, who travelled with the squad as the second specialist spinner, did not feature in any of Australia's matches during the tour. Moreover, Cricket Australia also confirmed that Jack Edwards is also dealing with a hamstring issue.
