Cricket Australia (CA) today advises that Michael Clarke has been ruled out of the Bupa Sheffield Shield final with a fractured shoulder.
“Michael Clarke was injured as a result of being struck on the left shoulder during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town,” said Australian Team Physiotherapist Alex Kountouris.
“We have since done a series of scans that have demonstrated a fracture near his shoulder joint.
“We expect that this will heal with a period of rest.
“Michael is therefore unavailable for the Bupa Sheffield Shield final to be played later this week.”
The final between 21 and 25 March in Canberra.
