Calcutta: There were mixed fortunes in store for the Australian team, on Sunday. While they comfortably won the first ODI against India, they suffered a big blow when Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed fast bowler Brett Lee has been diagnosed with a broken foot following a fielding incident in Friday’s T20 International against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
CA team doctor Trefor James said: “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 (match) against India at the MCG on Friday.
“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.”
