Australia captain Mitchell Marsh, opener Travis Head and spinner Tanveer Sangha have all been ruled out of the three-match one-day international (ODI) series Bangladesh, the country's cricket board said on Monday.

• The trio have been replaced by Todd Murphy, Ollie Peake and Matt Short. Peake and Short were part of the Australia squad which suffered a 2-1 ODI series defeat in Pakistan last week.
• The ODI series begins on Tuesday, with all three matches taking place in Dhaka.
• Josh Inglis will step in as captain for Marsh, who could return from his ankle injury in time for Australia's three Twenty20 Internationals in Chattogram starting on Jun 17.
• National selector Tony Dodemaide said Sangha's hamstring injury has ruled him out of the entire Bangladesh tour.
• Head has been granted personal leave and will only return for Australia's two home tests against Bangladesh in August.
