Australian all-rounder Mitch Marsh has been sent home from the tour of India due to a shoulder injury.
Marsh, who has scored just 48 runs and bowled just five overs in the series to date, has succumbed to a recurring shoulder injury.
Victorian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been named as his replacement in the squad.
"Mitchell has been playing with a shoulder injury for most of the summer, which we have been managing up until now, but unfortunately it has progressively deteriorated to a point where he is unable to function at the level required," said team physiotherapist David Beakley.
"Consequently he will return to Australia to consult with specialists to advise the best course of action."
The third Test begins on March 16 in Ranchi.
