Injured Gill set to miss first Test in Perth

Shubman Gill fractured the thumb on his left hand as he attempted a low catch in the slips on the second day of India's simulated training game. The BCCI has not yet made an official statement on Gill's injury but it is understood that while the fracture is minor, Gill is racing the clock to be fit for the second Test in Adelaide, a day-night fixture that begins on December 6. Gill's injury means India must adapt to fill gaps in their batting order.
