Haddin Out of Natwest Series, Doubt For Champions Trophy

Sydney: Brad Haddin has been advised surgery on his broken finger, which has ruled him out of Australia's limited-overs series against Scotland and England and makes him a serious doubt for the Champions Trophy. Haddin was sent home from England after scans revealed significant damage to the left ring finger broken on the morning of the Edgbaston Test.

Haddin visited a specialist upon his return to Sydney, and will undergo surgery on Thursday. "It's been decided that the fracture of the ring finger of the left hand, sustained in the Test series in England, will be best dealt with by Brad having surgery," said Trefor James, the Australian team doctor. "Brad will undergo corrective surgery in Sydney tomorrow.

He will therefore not be available for the limited over internationals in England. His fitness for the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa and the ODI series in India in October and November will be reviewed at a later date."
