Clark ruled out of first Test vs SA

Calcutta: An elbow injury Sunday ruled Australia pacer Stuart Clark out of the first cricket Test against South Africa in Perth, forcing the hosts to draft in Peter Siddle for the match starting December 18 in Perth, according to a Cricket Australia release.

The pacer will see an elbow surgeon this week and might have to undergo an operation to heal the nagging injury.

“Based on the ongoing nature of his injury and the information available to us, it’s been decided that he will see an elbow surgeon early this week with a view to having arthroscopic surgery,” Australian physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said in a statement.
