Internet Desk: Australia have picked pacer Andrew Tye as a replacement of their pace maestro Pat Cummins for the three-match ODI series against India.

The Australian cricketers had earlier taken a decision that they will give rest to Pat Cummins during the T-20 series to keep him fresh for the upcoming three match ODI series.

Tye, a T20 specialist, has played five matches for Australia and last represented the country in February.

Cricket.com.au reported that Tye has replaced Cummins for the series beginning in Ranchi on October 7.

The second and third game will be played in Guwahati and Hyderabad on October 10 and 13 respectively.

Tye has not played any cricket since dislocating his shoulder during the Indian Premier League earlier this year.

Playing for Gujarat Lions this IPL, Tye enjoyed success, including a match-winning hat-trick against Pune, until he suffered the shoulder injury.
