Melbourne: Australia spinner Ashton Agar has been ruled out of the last two one-day internationals in India after suffering a broken finger, Cricket Australia said on Monday.

Injuries have already ruled pace bowlers Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and James Pattinson out of the tour. India took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. The fourth ODI is in Bengaluru on Thursday.
