Pace bowler Jackson Bird will return to Australia after suffering from back pain while in India.

Bird is in Australia's 17-man touring party but wasn't playing in the first Test in Chennai.

According to a Cricket Australia statement, the Tasmania quick will return to Australia in the next 24 hours to have precautionary scans on his back.

"Jackson has reported some low level back pain and we feel the best course of action to determine the issue is to send him back to Australia for scans," Australian team doctor Peter Brukner said.

"If the scans come back clear then he will return to India to take up his place with the squad."

The statement didn't say if Bird would be replaced by another player, but there would be plenty of candidates to fill his spot if CA were to send a replacement.

In all likelihood it would be a spinner, given the lack of success Australia's fast bowlers have had in the first Test, with New South Wales tweaker Stephen O'Keefe probably the frontrunner.
