Adam Gilchrist has been ruled out of Australia's next one-day international because of a groin strain.
The Australian vice-captain injured himself while batting in Sunday's 89-run victory over England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and has been told to miss the next match against Sri Lanka in Perth on December 22.
Gilchrist said in a statement on Monday: "I felt some tightness in my groin while I was batting on Sunday, but was obviously able to carry on batting without a runner and then keep wicket during the England innings.
"Looking at things from a positive perspective, this break will be an opportunity to rest in the middle of our busy schedule."
Australia A wicketkeeper Ryan Campbell is expected to replace Gilchrist for the match against Sri Lanka when the side is announced on Wednesday.
