World Test Championship: Brendan Doggett has been ruled out of Australia’s upcoming Test series against the West Indies due to a hip injury, with Sean Abbott named as his replacement.

Although Doggett’s injury has been described as "minor", he will return to Australia instead of joining the squad in the Caribbean. He had been the traveling reserve for the World Test Championship (WTC) final and was set to be part of the touring party for the West Indies series.

Doggett finished the 2024–25 season on a high note, taking an impressive 11 for 140 in the Sheffield Shield final for South Australia. His strong performances throughout the summer had propelled him back into national contention, and he was considered a chance to make his Test debut on this tour.
