St. Lucia, Apr 28 : Australian fast bowler Brett Lee is likely to be ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup after sustaining a muscle strain in his right forearm during the warm up game against Zimbabwe.
Lee complained of a muscle strain in the same spot of the right elbow that required surgery in December last year and hastened his retirement from Test cricket in February.
He took 1 for 13 in four overs in the match at Beausejour Cricket Ground, and later underwent MRI scans to determine the seriousness of the strain.
Australian physio Alex Kontouris, however was adamant that the injury was unrelated to Lee's elbow surgery, Fox Sports reports.
The Australian team management has already put in a request to the International Cricket Council to see if they can replace the injured fast bowler.
While no names have been mentioned, fellow fast bowlers Doug Bollinger and Ryan Harris are being considered as the logical choice. (ANI)
