Kieswetter injured ruled out for six weeks


A wicket-keeper batsman Craig Kieswetter has been ruled out for six weeks due to a broken thumb injury in Somerset's County Championship match against Warwickshire.


He sustained the injury to his right thumb during the final day in last ball before lunch.

Dave Nosworthy, Somerset's director of cricket said: "Obviously this is very disappointing for us at this stage of the campaign and it is also very disappointing for Craig.

"This was a freak accident and with him in such good form and in a good frame of mind with the bat and gloves, it has come at a bad time. However, he goes about things in a very professional way and with a good rehabilitation programme already planned we will have him back as soon as possible."
