It has been confirmed the legendary Australian leg-spinner had fractured the 11th rib on his right side during his county's drawn game against Lancashire - but Hampshire physio Andrew Nealon is confident the side's talismanic captain will be back in action before the end of the campaign.

"At this stage we have got four weeks to go until the end of the season and it is an injury that takes two to four weeks to get better," Nealon said.

"The rest of our season is a pretty congested calendar. We have got four games to go and if it is humanly possible then he will be on the field before the end of the season.

"We will be doing all that we can to help that process. We are certainly not ruling him out for the rest of the season."

Hampshire first-team manager Paul Terry added: "It is certainly not good timing with it being an exciting run-in until the end of the season.

"He is a pretty good healer and I would be surprised if we didn't see him again this season. He is always optimistic."
