Melbourne: Australian fast bowler Brett Lee is "gutted" by his latest injury which ruled him out of the Twenty20 World Cup but it is unlikely to end his international career, Cricket Australia physiotherapist said.
Lee suffered a right arm muscle strain during Australia's loss to Zimbabwe on Tuesday in a T20 World Cup warm-up match but team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said the injury was unrelated to the career-threatening surgery on the same arm last year that precipitated his retirement from Test cricket.
A dejected Lee, who has replaced by Ryan Harris in the Australian squad, flew out of St Lucia and will consult a specialist when he reaches Sydney.
"He was very disappointed, gutted. In the last 12 months he has hardly played and he has had four different injuries. He had ankle surgery early last year, he had that side strain in England, and then he got that elbow injury in India. One is sort of a consequence of another," Kountouris said.
He said Lee could be back to bowling within five weeks, opening the door for him to play for Australia in their one-day series tour of England in June.
Kountouris said it was an unusual injury and the frustrating thing for Lee was that it came in his very last over in the warm-up match.
