Adelaide: Skipper Michael Clarke will miss Australia's next limited-overs international against Sri Lanka at Sydney Cricket Ground after injuring his right hamstring in the four-wicket loss to India on the weekend.

Scans on Monday confirmed a low grade strain. Australia team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said Clarke wouldn't recover in time for Friday's tri-series match against the Sri Lankans and no decision had been made about his availability for a match against India at Brisbane on Sunday.

Australia will announce its squad for the next three ODIs on Tuesday. The Australians lead the tri-series with two wins and a loss to date.

"I have a grade one hamstring strain so will be out of Friday's game," Clarke posted on Twitter.

Team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said Clarke's fitness would be assessed later in the week.

"He (Clarke) sustained a low grade right hamstring strain. I will assess him later this week and decide on his availability for the game in Brisbane on Sunday," Kountouris said in a statement.
