Lynn will require finger surgery later this week and cannot make the trip, Cricket Australia physiotherapist Kevin Sims said on Monday. "Chris will require a period of rehabilitation of two-three months which will make him unavailable for the Australia A tour to Zimbabwe," Sims said.
Selectors said Tasmanian swing bowler Ben Hilfenhaus will only travel for the longer format games of the Zimbabwean tour.
