Australian Pacer Brett Lee Breaks Foot

Australian paceman Brett Lee suffered a broken foot against India during the second Twenty20 International and will miss the tri nation series featuring India and Sri Lanka, the pacer might miss the tour of the West Indies as well.


"Brett Lee sustained a fracture of his right foot when he was struck by a ball in the last over of his spell during the T20 against India at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) on Friday night," team doctor Trefor James said in a Cricket Australia statement on Sunday.

"He was able to complete the over however the foot became more painful and swollen the following day. An x-ray has confirmed a fracture of the small toe and we now expect Brett will return to cricket in four-six weeks."

Lee's replacement will be announced after the first match of the tri nation series between Australia and India.
