Australia’s first-choice left-arm spinner picked up an unwanted injury in the Big Bash on Thursday evening.
Seven win exclusive rights to broadcast Sri Lanka seriesBrisbane Heat spinner Matthew Kuhnemann’s availability for Australia’s two-Test tour of Sri Lanka is up in the air after he suffered a compound dislocation of his right thumb during a Big Bash match on Thursday evening.
The three-Test tweaker immediately ran off the Gabba, with replays showing his right thumb out of place. “It’s someone I’m close to, and he’s grown so much with his bowling and in Sri Lanka, he’s probably one of the first picked over there. I’m really gutted.”Australia already have off-spinners Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy at their disposal for two Tests in Sri Lanka, starting on January 29 and February 6.
Cricket fans will be able to watch Australia’s two Tests against Sri Lanka in Galle, starting on January 29 and February 6, as well as two one-day internationals on free-to-air television after Fox lost out in broadcast negotiations.Getty Images
