Darren Lehmann has been ruled out of the second 3 Test against Zimbabwe in Sydney after diagnostic scans revealed acute inflammation of his left Achilles tendon.
Dr Martin Sullivan, a leading foot and ankle specialist, and Errol Alcott, Australia's physiotherapist, have advised him rest until a review in mid-November, a Cricket Australia press release said.
Although disappointed at missing the Test, Lehmann said that he was "realistic enough to know that I could suffer further damage if I do play."
"My main focus right now is to try and get things right for good," Lehmann added. "I did a lot of running during our break prior to the Perth Test and according to Dr Sullivan, that's where I aggravated the Achilles."
Australia have yet to name their line-up for the Sydney Test.
Been told to rest for a month. Damn, Redbacks miss out again
