McGrath to captain Australia against Bangladesh
Cricket Australia says Molineux will miss the ODI series with a hip injury.
Tahlia McGrath will lead Australia in the women's ODI series against Bangladesh after Sophie Molineux was ruled out with a hip injury, according to Cricket Australia's September 30 report.
The announcement came after the squad release. It explains why a captain initially named in a squad is not necessarily available for the final series. Cricket Australia says reinforcements would be added after the current Women's National Cricket League round.
The three ODIs are listed for October 9, 11 and 14 at Allan Border Field in Brisbane. The same report says Australia hoped Molineux could recover for the following T20I series against New Zealand. That is an aim, not confirmed clearance to play.
