Melbourne, Feb 9 : Former Australian pacer Nathan Bracken is suing Cricket Australia for 1.07 million US dollars for failing to adequately deal with a knee injury that finished his playing career.
Bracken has argued that Cricket Australia's doctors and lead physiotherapist can''t provide "competent" medical advice to elite athletes.
Bracken, who played five Tests and 116 one-day internationals for Australia, told News Limited newspapers that he was seeking at least Aus dollars 1.0 million (1.07 million) in lost earnings.
He has sued the governing body and three of its medical professionals claiming that they failed to "investigate, diagnose and treat" his right knee injury suffered the day before a one-day match against England on January 9, 2007.
Lawyers for Cricket Australia and their doctors and physio are defending the allegations.
The case, yet to go to hearing, was mentioned in the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Bracken was ordered to declare the size of damages he wants Cricket Australia to pay by February 22 and provide more details of his injuries.
It is understood the former bowler will seek at least $1 million for lost earnings.
The case returns to court on March 2, The Daily Telegraph reports. (ANI)
