ODI World Cup: Left-arm spinner Sophie Molineux has been ruled out of the remainder of the multi-format series against India after experiencing lower back pain, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Friday.

"Sophie Molineux has experienced some lower back pain and will not be available for the remainder of the series. She will continue to be monitored ahead of the upcoming tour to the West Indies," CA said in a statement shortly after the second ODI toss happened at the Bellerive Oval on Friday.

In place of Sophie, seam-bowling all-rounder Nicola Carey gets to play in front of her home crowd for her 24th ODI game. She last played in ODI during the triumphant 2022 ODI World Cup in New Zealand, where she played against Pakistan in Mount Maunganui.
