Australian spinner Bryce McGain is expected to miss the forthcoming opening test against India. The match is scheduled for next week. The absence of spinner Bryce McGain would cause a big loss to the winning prospectus of Australian team. 

McGain suffered a shoulder injury some time ago and is unlikely to attend the tournament on health grounds. He was introduced in the national team at age of 36 and suffered injury last month during the Australia ‘A’ tour of India

The Australian coach, Tim Nielsen said that the player is not physically fit due to his sour shoulder. So he is unlikely to attend four-day warm-up game against the Indian Board President's XI in Hyderabad. 

The physiotherapist and the doctor have asked him for complete rest. He said that the Australian team would work very hard to win the competition in his absence.

All-rounder Shane Watson would also not be available for the match as he is feeling sick. Thus, Australians have to work very hard to win the forthcoming opening test.
