SYDNEY (Reuters) - Top order batsman Usman Khawaja has suffered a setback in his bid to return to the Australia team for the second test against West Indies after being ruled out of a domestic Twenty20 match by his Sydney Thunder side on Monday.

Khawaja suffered a hamstring strain in the second test against New Zealand last month and missed the final test in that series as well as the innings and 212-run victory over West Indies in Hobart.
