Brett Lee, the Australia fast bowler, has been ruled out of the South Africa tour due to appendicitis. He will undergo surgery in Cape Town on Monday night and is expected to be out of cricket for six to eight weeks. Australia are yet to name a replacement for Lee in the one-day and Twenty20 squads.
"Brett complained of some pain after arriving in Cape Town on Sunday," Alex Kountoris, Australia team physiotherapist, said. "After consultations with experts and take the necessary investigations, was diagnosed with appendicitis. He obviously can not be ruled out of Twenty20 and ODI series in South Africa."
Lee, a replacement player will be called "time", but it is likely that Australia wants to add experience to their bowling attack. Patrick Cummins and James Pattinson with the team, Lee and Doug Bollinger were the two old hands T20 line-up of Mitchell Johnson, then, to join the team of ODIs.
The disease could mean Lee Johnson was brought in earlier, but you can also open the door to Peter Siddle, who has only played two international T20 to make his mark in the limited procurement formats. Other options include Ryan Harris, who has recovered from a hamstring strain after the recent series in Sri Lanka, but was treated as a single player or a test match at Trent Copeland and Mitchell Starc, who played against South Africa in a series three in Zimbabwe in June
