Lee can bowl next week
Injury-ravaged Australia heaved a sigh of relief with pacer Brett Lee expected to resume bowling next week and wicketkeeper Tim Paine escaping a surgery on his fractured ring finger.
Cricket Australia Wednesday said that Lee's elbow injury, sustained during the first ODI against India at Vadodara, was not serious and he can be back to the groove next week.
Paine, who fractured his ring finger, is expected to start his training in three weeks time, just before the West Indies tour of Australia.
"Brett has seen a specialist and CA medical staff in Melbourne. He had a scan that confirmed the cause of the pain as being a long standing bone spur near the elbow joint," Cricket Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.
