AUSTRALIA coach Darren Lehmann will miss the upcoming ODI series in New Zealand as he recovers from deep vein thrombosis.
The 45-year-old is missing the current t20 series with India due to a swollen left calf, with batting coach Michael di Venuto in charge.
Lehmann will miss the ODIs in New Zealand on February 3, 6 and 8 as he waits clearance to fly.
Cricket Australia’s chief medical officer Dr John Orchard said: “He is meeting with specialists in Sydney and will have repeat scans on Friday to check his progress.”
No decision has yet been made on who will replace Lehmann for the New Zealand ODIs, which are followed by two Tests from February 12-16 and 20-24.
