St. George's (Grenada), May 29: Australian fast bowler Brett Lee was hit in the back of the neck with a ball during a training session and suffered a mild concussion late yesterday, team officials said. Batsman Jimmy Maher was having a practice hit, and a stray stroke sent the ball flying toward the New South Wales pacer. Lee was stretching when he was hit, team officials said. They said he had a ``mild concussion'' and had been given orders to rest for the remainder of the day.
The 26-year-old still could be available for selection for Friday's sixth one-day international against the West Indies at the Queen's Park Stadium. The Australians, who won the preceding Test rubber 3-1, lead the seven-match series 4-1. The seventh and final one-dayer is at the same venue on Sunday. Bureau Report
