"In NSW's 3-day intra-squad trial match that began yesterday, Test spinner Nathan Lyon suffered a mild concussion and as a precaution has withdrawn from the rest of the fixture. Lyon was injured while fielding late in the day, after bowling 20 well-executed overs (1\/79), and is expected to play in next week's Sheffield Shield opener," said Cricket NSW on its website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This is the second news in a week about an Australia Test player suffering from a concussion.
