Graham Manou will add some one-day international appearances to his Ashes Test after winning a promotion to Australia’s team in India following Tim Paine’s broken finger. Manou was due to fly to Delhi on Thursday night and will land in time for the third match of the seven-game series on Saturday.
Manou, 30, is a Cricket Australia contracted player and his elevation should allow Shaun Marsh to head back to the top of the order. Paine has done well in his opening opportunities, preventing a quick return for Marsh after a series of hamstring injuries. He fractured a ring finger taking a Peter Siddle delivery in the 99-run loss to India on Wednesday before managing 8 in the second innings before learning he would be going home.
