NEW DELHI, (Reuters) – Injured Australian all rounder  James Hopes will fly home after becoming the latest in the squad  to be forced out of the one-day series in India.

Uncapped Victorian paceman Clinton McKay will replace the  injured Brett Lee while all rounder Moises Henriques will stay  on having come in as cover, a Cricket Australia release said yesterday.

Hopes injured his hamstring during the first ODI and missed  the next two, which India won to lead 2-1 in the seven-game  series. The fourth game is scheduled in Mohali on Monday.

Australian stand-in stumper Tim Paine broke a finger and has  been replaced by Graham Manou while first choice Brad Haddin and  vice-captain Michael Clarke did not make the tour due to  injuries.
