Finch and Lynn ruled out of T20 series against Sri Lanka

Australian opener Aaron Finch and aggressive batsman Chris Lynn have been ruled out of the two T20’s against Sri Lanka due to injuries. Finch has been ruled out due to a broken index finger whereas Lynn has suffered a second blow to his painful left shoulder.

“Aaron was hit on the right index finger when fielding a ball and subsequent X-rays have shown a fracture which means he will not be available for the remaining two T20 International matches,

“Chris dislocated his left shoulder whilst diving during a fielding drill at training today.

Consequently, he will be unavailable for the remaining matches and instead will return to Brisbane to undergo a further investigation to determine the full extent of the injury.” ” team physiotherapist David Beakley said in a media release on Monday.

Matthew Wade has been named as replacement of Chris Lynn.

The Australian team which won the ODI series by a margin of 4-1 is scheduled to play two T20I matches here. The first game will be played on September 6 in Pallekele whereas the second game will be played in Colombo.
