"Warne injured his bowling hand during 'nets' and will not be able to play in Wednesday's match," Australian media manager Jonathan Rose told AFP on Tuesday.

"He was taken to a hospital this evening for tests and doctors felt he could need between six and eight weeks to recover fully."

Warne, 35, is the world's highest wicket-taker in Tests with 541 scalps in 115 matches. He has also taken 291 wickets in one-day internationals.
