Lynn to miss PSL, hopes to get fit for IPL

Australia big-hitting Chris Lynn on Wednesday dislocated his shoulder during the final of the Tri-series final against New Zealand and will miss the Pakistan Super League [PSL] in Dubai. However, he hopes to get fit in time for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in April.

During the ninth over of New Zealand's innings, Lynn fell awkwardly while fielding at the midwicket region. He was trying to protect his injury-prone left shoulder but ended up jarring it following which he was seen clutching it. He was escorted off the field by the medical staff and taken to hospital for scans even though the staff managed to put his shoulder back in place.

The 27-year-old, who is among the top candidates to lead Kolkata Knight Riders this season, has already had three surgeries on his left shoulder.
