Brett Lee Ruled Out Of Twenty20 World Cup

Australia have had a setback after it was revealed that Brett Lee will miss the Twenty20 World Cup.

It is because the bowler picked up an arm injury that will not heal in time after scans confirmed it is a muscle tear.

Going into a tough opening fixture against Pakistan, the Baggy Greens are 51/100 with Betdaq to emerge victorious, while they are the 7/2 favourites with bet365 to lift the title.

Lee had hoped to get his international career back on track at the tournament after missing the entire Australian summer with an elbow injury.

Doug Bollinger or Ryan Harris are the two cricketers most likely to take Lee's place, with the former tasting victory in the Indian Premier League with the Chennai Super Kings.

Australia play their second warm-up game against the Windward Islands on Thursday (April 29th) and they will be hoping to put in a better performance after losing to Zimbabwe in their last outing.
