Lynn suffers dislocated right shoulder

Chris Lynn‘s run of injury misfortune continued during the tri-series final at Auckland, after he suffered a dislocated right shoulder while diving in the field during New Zealand’s innings.

Lynn, who left the field midway through the ninth over, suffered the injury while attempting to intercept a clip through midwicket from Ross Taylor.

Sprinting to his left, he reached for the ball with his right arm, in an apparent attempt to protect his troublesome left shoulder, on which he has undergone three bouts of surgery in recent seasons.

However, he appeared to jar his right arm on the turf, and it was later confirmed that he had popped the shoulder out of its socket. He did not reappear on the field after being sent for a scan.

Lynn had previously said he would avoid diving in the field in a bid to prevent any further shoulder problems.

“It’s something that’s played on my mind for about four years,” he said. “Let’s go one step at a time – I want to dive, there’s no doubt about that, I want to do well and contribute.

“But at the moment, I don’t want to have another setback because I feel like I’m making good ground.”
