Aggressive Australian batsman, Chris Lynn’s luck seems to be against him as he suffers another injury setback on Monday with him getting ruled out of Australia’s squad for their ODI series against England.

Lynn was earlier gained his place back in the squad after shoulder surgery ruled him out of the squad a year ago, suffered a calf injury in a domestic Twenty20 match last week.

Talking about his injury, Cricket Australia’s Sports Science and Sports Medicine Manager Alex Kountouris said, “Chris initially left the field … complaining of tightness in his calf. He reported increasing discomfort over the 24 hours that followed and … medical staff made the decision to send him for a scan. That scan confirmed the injury, which is expected to prevent him from playing for three to four weeks.”

Lynn was batting well in the field for Brisbane Heat but their skipper Brendon McCullum had concerns over whether Chris can dive safely or throw the ball with any velocity. McCullum said he felt the triangular Twenty20 series in February with New Zealand and England would have been better timed for Lynn’s return to the international arena.

However, Kountouris hinted that could be the case anyway, he said, “When Chris recovers, the expectation is that he will need to prove his fitness in match action before being considered again for international selection.”

Lynn’s absence might open the doors for the underperforming all-rounder Glenn Maxwell into the squad, with the selectors still mulling their options.

Australian skipper Steve Smith and chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns said at the time Maxwell needed to show he could be more consistent at the international level to get back into the team. The series opener of the five-game will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
