Lyon Declares Himself '100 Per Cent Fit' For Sri Lanka Tour
The Sydney Morning Herald: Veteran Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon has confirmed his full fitness ahead of Australia’s two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, which begins on January 29. Despite battling a sore hip during the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, Lyon assured fans and selectors that he is "100 per cent fit" and ready for the challenging conditions in Sri Lanka.
Lyon, who took nine wickets at an average of 36.88 during the India series, revealed that the hip issue originated in the first Test against India. Explaining his condition, he said:
"It’s hard to explain; I am not very good with medical terms. It is like a little bursa [fluid sack] in my hip. I aggravated it, and it has been painful. It does not stop me from bowling, but when I land on my hip, it is pretty painful," Lyon was quoted by The Sydney Morning Herald as saying.
