Australia and WA all-rounder Mitchell Marsh out for six months with stress injury in lower back..
By staff writers FOX SPORTS February 17, 2012 3:09PM
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of cricket for months, and will miss the remainder of the triangular series featuring India and Sri Lanka, with a bone stress injury in his lower back.
He has also been ruled out of contention for a place in the tour party to play West Indies in the Caribbean.
"Mitch complained of quite significant lower-back pain during (Thursday's) training session at the SCG," Cricket Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.
"After assessing him and considering his age, we organised scans in Sydney ... that have confirmed our suspicions of a lower-back bone stress injury.
"He will have further scans tomorrow in Melbourne to determine the extent of the injury, which will help outline the period of rest required from cricket.
"We expect that he will not play as a bowler for the remainder of this season but will be in a position to provide further information once we have the results of tomorrows scans."
The national selection panel will announce in due course whether a replacement player is required for the Brisbane ODI to be played on Sunday.
