The injury-plagued all rounder will not be sent home, but his Ashes prospects have declined as he sat out for county game against Sussex. “Shane Watson had a scan on his left knee which confirmed a low-grade strain of one of his quadriceps (thigh) muscles,” the Daily Telegraph quoted Australian physiotherapist Alex Kountouris, as saying. |
