Lynn leaves the field with shoulder injury

Chris Lynn will not need surgery following the latest shoulder injury the big-hitting batsman suffered in Australia's T20 tri-series final in New Zealand.

That's the verdict from Lynn's manager, Stephen Atkinson, who said the batsman had received positive news from doctors after seeing specialists in Brisbane today.

"Chris got a positive result from the doctors who said he will not need surgery," Atkinson said, according to a News Corp report.

"Chris is disappointed at missing the Pakistan Super League but he will be making every effort to play in the Indian Premier League and, if selected, the five one-dayers for Australia in England in June."

It is understood the news has been warmly received in the Lynn camp with the prognosis as good as the batsman could have hoped for. And although Lynn is understood to have some minor nerve inflammation around the joint, that is being treated as normal for this type of injury.

Lynn dislocated his right shoulder after landing awkwardly attempting to field a ball during the ninth over of Wednesday night's T20 tri-series final at Auckland's Eden Park.

Fielding at midwicket, he sprinted to his left to stop a ball and reached across his body with his right arm before appearing to jar it on the turf.

Australia's medical staff helped Lynn, clutching his right arm in pain, from the field and, having confirmed he had popped his right shoulder out, were able to put it back in place.

"Chris dislocated his right shoulder after landing awkwardly on it when fielding the ball," said Bupa Support Team Physiotherapist Alex Kountouris.

X-rays in Auckland revealed no major bone injury and the visit to specialists in Brisbane today has confirmed no need for surgery.

He had been set to travel from New Zealand direct to Dubai to feature in the Pakistan Super League, but will now miss that tournament.

He remains hopeful of fulfilling his IPL contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders, who retained the batsman's services for A$1.86 million this season, and had touted him as an option to take the captaincy reins.

"I'm disappointed to not go to the Pakistan Super League as planned (this week), but I'll now focus on rehabilitation and working as hard as I can, with the hope to still take part in the Indian Premier League later this year," he said.

Lynn has made a conscious effort not to dive this summer following a series of crippling shoulder injuries. His left shoulder has been operated on three times.

He returned to the KFC Big Bash League with his club Brisbane Heat ahead of schedule having undergone surgery on his left shoulder over the winter.

Asked on ahead of the tri-series final whether he'd ever be comfortable diving again, Lynn said: 'I don't know. I try not to think about it to be honest.

"It's something that's played on my mind for about four years. Let's go one step at a time – I want to dive, there's no doubt about that, I want to do well and contribute.

"But at the moment, I don't want to have another setback because I feel like I'm making good ground."

Lynn had struck 44, 0, 31 and 18 in his return to the national T20 side in the tri-series.
