Brisbane: Spinner Matthew Kuhnemann has been cleared to join the Australian men’s squad for the Tour of Sri Lanka starting on Wednesday, Cricket Australia said on Friday.
The left-arm spin bowler fractured his right thumb during Brisbane Heat’s five-wicket loss to Hobart Hurricanes last Thursday.
Kuhnemann was rushed to the hospital by his Heat teammate Daniel Drew after suffering a dislocated thumb. The injury was treated that night, with the dislocation put back, followed by surgery the next morning to insert a pin into the fracture.
Despite the injury setback, Kuhnemann has made a swift recovery and bowled eight overs at Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Thursday. IANS
