Aussie Pacer Morris Opts For Back Surgery, To Be Sidelined For 12 Months
Lance Morris: Australia fast bowler Lance Morris has been ruled out of action for 12 months after opting to go for a surgery to solve his troublesome back issues. The long layoff will mean Morris is now out of contention for a spot in Australia’s squad for the Ashes, set to begin on November 21.
Morris was originally in line to add to his three ODI caps in the ongoing series against South Africa and had joined the squad early in Darwin as part of the preparations. But complained of lower back soreness after a training session, he was sent home to Perth for scans, which revealed a lumbar bone stress injury.
Following medical advice, Morris has now decided to undergo pars stabilisation surgery, with an estimated recovery period of a year. "I feel this is the most logical way to realise my full potential and return to my very best cricket for the Scorchers, Western Australia and Australia long into the future."
