Cricket Australia confirmed their lead wicket-keeper Brad Haddin has been ruled out of September’s ICC Champions Trophy.

 

Haddin underwent a successful surgery on the ring finger of his left hand last Thursday after breaking the finger prior to the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

 

“After discussion with Brad’s surgeon and the Cricket Australia medical staff, it is clear Brad will not have recovered sufficiently for him to be considered for any part of the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa.

 

“While the surgery was a success and there have been no complications, the timeframe for recovery is not sufficient and therefore he can not be considered for selection,” Cricket Australia Doctor Trefor James said.

 

Haddin though said while it was disappointing to miss the ICC Champions Trophy, he was happy that the surgery was successful.

 

"My finger will be 100% when the recovery period is finalised.

 

“I am aiming to be available for selection for the one-day series in India however this is a decision that will be made in consultation with the Cricket Australia medical staff when the time arises.

 

“In the past I have been able to recover from finger injuries and surgery very quickly and I am hopeful this will again be the case.”
