Cairns, July 31: Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath, who will launch a book on Friday on Australia's World Cup cricket victory, has been forced out of the Bangladesh one-day series with an ankle injury, team officials have said.
McGrath flew to Sydney from Cairns on Thursday to consult a specialist after injuring his ankle during Australia's recent Test series victory over Bangladesh.

No replacement has been announced. The matches are on Saturday and Sunday in Cairns before the final one-dayer next Wednesday in Darwin.

McGrath's World Cup diary, which goes on sale on Friday, chronicles the Australian team's successful defence of its World Cup crown in South Africa and Zimbabwe in February and March.
