Spinner Matthew Kuhnemann: Spinner Matthew Kuhnemann has been cleared to join the Australian men’s squad for the Tour of Sri Lanka starting on Wednesday, Cricket Australia said on Friday.

The left-arm spin bowler fractured his right thumb during Brisbane Heat's five-wicket loss to Hobart Hurricanes last Thursday.

Kuhnemann was rushed to the hospital by his Heat teammate Daniel Drew after suffering a dislocated thumb. The injury was treated that night, with the dislocation put back, followed by surgery the next morning to insert a pin into the fracture.
