Sophie Molineux will miss Australia women’s ODI series against Bangladesh due to a hip injury and instead, Tahlia McGrath will lead the side in the three-match series starting October 9 in Brisbane.

Molineux suffered the injury after coming back from The Hundred, making it difficult to recover ahead of the ODI series. Australia selector Shawn Flegler, however, is hopeful that might make it for the T20I series.

“She’s now turned a corner, but I think it’s too tight for the ODI series … but she’ll be right for the T20 games (and) we’ll keep assessing her during that particular series,” Flegler said.

If Molineux also doesn’t make it for the T20 series starting October 18, Asheigh Gardner will lead Australia for the first time.

“We’ve got Ash and T-Mac as (co-)vice captains and it’s been endorsed by the board for either one of them to step up into the role. Tahlia’s done a really great job in the past, and if Ash gets that opportunity (in the T20s), I’m sure she’ll do a great job as well.

“Soph will be on tour with us anyway, so I can see that leadership group performing really well, they function really well as a as a group,” Flegler said.

Apart from Molineux, Lucy Hamilton and Darcie Brown are also out of the ODI series due to quad and back injuries respectively. Hamilton, though, has been named in the T20I squad.

Australia ODI squad vs Bangladesh women: Tahlia McGrath (c), Ashleigh Gardner (vc), Nicola Carey, Kim Garth, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll, Georgia Wareham
