All-rounder Shane Watson will miss Australia's only serious warm-up ahead of their Test series against India after being ruled out of the four-day game against the Board President's XI with a virus.
Watson picked up the virus two nights ago and was laid low at the team hotel yesterday while the rest of the squad trained.
It's hardly promising start to the tour for a player with a history of injury and illness.
A replacement for Watson has yet to be named.
