Melbourne: Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin will return to Australia for checks on a fractured finger, Cricket Australia (CA) said in a statement on Monday.
Haddin missed the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston after injuring a finger on his left hand but returned to play out the fourth and fifth Tests in Australia's 2-1 series defeat by England.
"It has now been decided Brad will return to Australia to allow him further recovery time and consultation with specialists to determine the best possible management of the injury," Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said in the statement.
Australia had already flown Tasmania's Tim Paine to England as cover for the back-up keeper, Graham Manou, for the Oval Test. Manou is not in Australia's ODI squad, leaving Paine to slot in, if needed, for Friday's one-day game against Scotland in Edinburgh, the ensuing two Twenty20 matches at Old Trafford and the seven ODIs against England.
A decision on whether Haddin will take part in the One-day and Twenty20 matches against England will be made once he has seen the specialists. No replacement will be added to the Australian squad, CA said.
Australia have yet to name a reserve wicketkeeper, although 27-year-old Chris Hartley, the incumbent Queensland glovesman who is playing in the Northern League near Manchester, deputised for Manou and Haddin during Australia's two-day warm-up match in between the fourth and fifth Tests.
