Australia have drafted young all-rounder Cooper Connolly into their ICC Champions Trophy squad as a replacement for the injured Matthew Short, just ahead of their semi-final clash against India in Dubai on Tuesday.
Short sustained a calf injury while fielding during Australia's rain-affected match against Afghanistan in Lahore. The injury visibly hampered him, particularly when he made a quickfire 20 at the top of the order before rain led to the game being abandoned.
