Shaun Marsh has been ruled out of the rest of Australia's tour of Sri Lanka after breaking a finger in Sunday's third one-day international.

Australia have not called up a replacement for March for the two remaining one-dayers but fellow left-handed batsman Usman Khawaja, already a part of the ODI squad, will come in for the two Twenty20 matches against the same opposition.

"Shaun suffered an injury to his left little finger whilst fielding in the match," Australia team physiotherapist David Beakley said.

"An X-ray after the match confirmed a fracture and Shaun will now return to Perth to allow time for this to heal."
