Henriques set for scans on injured calf

Moises Henriques' KFC Big Bash League campaign may be over, and his shot at a spot in the Australian side for the summer's international short-form fixtures is in jeopardy, with a recurrence of a left calf injury in the Sydney Sixer's five-wicket loss to Melbourne Stars.

Henriques, who was flying on 41 not out midway through the Sixers' innings against the Melbourne Stars, pulled up short when he took off for a run, stumbling mid-pitch and grabbing high on his left calf.

The allrounder appeared to be in significant pain and was eventually carried off the ground in a medicab. He was later seen returning to the player viewing area on crutches.

It's a cruel blow for Henriques, who missed several weeks of cricket earlier this summer with the same injury.

Henriques, who has played three Tests, six ODIs and four Twenty20 fixtures for Australia, also suffered a right calf injury in similar fashion during last year's Matador BBQs One-Day Cup.

The 28-year-old will go for scans on the injury on Monday. Nic Maddinson filled in as Sixers skipper in the loss to the Stars.

He said Henriques had given no indication as to how serious he felt the injury might be.

"He is a little bit disappointed, he was icing it up when I went in so I can't be sure how it is," Maddinson said after the match.

"We are feeling for him. He has just come back from a calf injury and suffered another one last year.

"It is a little bit disappointing but until we know the severity of it, it is hard to say how he is feeling."

The Stars' win, with half-centuries from Glenn Maxwell and Peter Handscomb, was the side's first of the season from three games. Sydney's loss leaves the Sixers at 2-2.

Maxwell said it was difficult to watch his friend Henriques go down with the injury.

"Moises was hitting the ball beautifully and I really feel for him, we have been mates for a while," Maxwell said.

"He is really putting his name down for one-day contention and for him to go down, my heart breaks for him because he seems to have these setbacks nonstop.

"All I can hope is that he has a speedy recovery but it was pretty hard to watch."

Henriques has had a horror run of bad luck on the injury front this year; he was involved in a collision with Surrey teammate Rory Burns, suffering a badly broken jaw.
