Lynn ruled out of ODI series with injury

Six-hitting sensation Chris Lynn sidelined for up to a month with calf injury, but could return in time for the Big Bash finals

The international career of luckless batting superstar Chris Lynn has had another false start, the right-hander ruled out of the Gillette ODI Series due to a calf injury.

Lynn had scans on Saturday after picking up a calf injury in a KFC BBL match at the Gabba on Friday night and Cricket Australia has announced the 27-year-old will miss the ODIs against England this month.

National selectors have not yet discussed a replacement player for the one-day series, which starts on Sunday.

Dumped batsman Glenn Maxwell would be among the frontrunners to replace Lynn while in-form Test left-handers Shaun Marsh and Usman Khawaja as well as Victorian Peter Handscomb and uncapped Western Australian D'Arcy Short, the leading run-scorer in the BBL, could also be in contention.
