 Lee and Andrew Symonds will miss the third Test against South Africa
|
Australia bowler Brett Lee is set to be sidelined for up to five months after undergoing surgery to correct a long-standing problem with his left ankle.
It was decided that Lee should have surgery on Saturday as the 32-year-old was also expected to be out for some time with a metatarsal injury.
Lee suffered a stress fracture of a metatarsal bone during the second Test against South Africa in Melbourne.
But he is expected to be available for the World Twenty20 in June.
Australia team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said: "If Brett's rehabilitation program goes to plan he is expected to be available for selection for Australia for the ICC World Twenty20 later this year."
