Matthew Hayden has been ruled out of the remainder of Australia's tour of West Indies due to an Achilles injury.
The opening batsman, 36, missed the series-opener in Jamaica due to the problem but it had been hoped he may recover in time for the second Test in Antigua, which starts on Friday.
However, the injury has not responded to treatment and Hayden will now miss the final two Tests and the five-match one-day international series that follows.
"Matthew Hayden's right Achilles tendon injury has not made sufficient progress during his time in the West Indies and as such he will not be able to participate in the second Test and was highly unlikely to be available for the third Test," Cricket Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.
"With the large volume of cricket to be played over the next 18 months it was decided he should return to Australia to undergo rehabilitation and consult specialists.
"This means he will not be available for the five one-day internationals against the West Indies."

Poor Hayden and he is a good opening batsman to the ossys.
