DVT hits Lehmann
Afp, Sydney
Former Australia Test batsman Darren Lehmann has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and will undergo blood-thinning therapy, his South Australia state side said Tuesday. The South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) said Lehmann's condition was picked up during a routine check-up following surgery on a damaged Achilles tendon. "It has been identified early and Darren will undergo blood-thinning treatment for the next three months," SACA physiotherapist John Porter said. Porter said Lehmann, 37, who played 27 Tests and 117 one-day internationals for Australia, was expected to be fit for South Australia when the domestic season begins in October. The left-handed batsman, who has a Test average of 44.95, played his last Test against Pakistan in December 2004.
