Brett Lee to miss tri-series
October 18, 2003 12:49 IST
Brett Lee was ruled out of the remainder of the second Test with Zimbabwe and the tour of India later this month after injuring himself while bowling on Saturday.The Australian fast bowler was forced to leave the field following his third over of the day on Saturday and was later diagnosed with a torn stomach muscle. "I am bitterly disappointed. I've worked really hard on my fitness and have basically gone through the past three seasons unscathed, so to miss this tour now is a major blow," Lee said. "I pretty much knew from my first ball this morning that something was wrong. There are times when I have stiffness and I can pretty much bowl through it, that's part and parcel of bowling but this certainly felt worse. "But hopefully we've identified the problem early and it won't turn into a bigger problem." The world champions leave for India on October 22. The triangular one-day tournament, which also includes New Zealand, will be held from October 23 to November 18. |
