Aussie paceman Harris out for up to eight weeks

SYDNEY:-Australia paceman Ryan Harris faces a race to be fit for the return Ashes series opener against England after being ruled out for up to eight weeks with a hamstring injury, Cricket Australia said Thursday. Harris, Australia's leading wicket-taker in the recent 3-0 Ashes series, had the injury assessed after arriving back home. Harris suffered the injury to his right hamstring during last weekend's drawn fifth Test. The fast bowler had been hopeful he would be declared fit to fly out for India in a fortnight for the Champions League Twenty20 tournament. –AFP
