NEW DELHI: Australia have recalled pace bowler Andrew Tye to the squad for next month’s three-match Twenty20 International series against India, Cricket Australia said on Tuesday.

Tye, who dislocated his shoulder playing for Gujarat Lions in the Indian Premier League in April, replaces Pat Cummins.

The 30-year-old, who played the last of his five international T20s in February, joins fast bowlers Nathan Coulter-Nile, Kane Richardson and uncapped left-armer Jason Behrendorff in the squad.

Cummins, who has suffered several injury setbacks in the past five years, has withdrawn himself from the T20 matches that follow the ongoing five-match ODI series, and will be heading home to freshen up for the Ashes series against Eng­land starting in November.

The tourists, who have already conceded the ODI series after losing the first three matches, will look for a better result in the T20 games starting Oct 7 in Ranchi.
