Australian all rounder Shane Watson was diagnosed as suffering from gastritis after being taken to hospital on Tuesday with stomach and chest pains.
"Shane experienced severe chest pain this morning and we decided to take him to hospital to investigate and manage the problem," physio Alex Kountouris said in a team statement. "He had a range of tests, the results of which indicate that he has gastritis, which commonly causes heart-burn and chest pain. "Shane will be re-assessed later this evening with a view to bringing him back to the team hotel tonight."
The 25-year-old, who scored 21 runs as an opener and grabbed three wickets in Saturday's six-wicket Champions Trophy victory over England in Jaipur, is pushing for a starting place in the Ashes series starting in Brisbane on November 23. Australia have a win and a loss from their two Group A Champions Trophy matches and meet hosts India in Sunday's final league contest in Mohali.
