Sydney - Australian one-day opening batsman Aaron Finch faces a three-month recovery after undergoing surgery for a left hamstring injury, cricket officials said on Wednesday.
Finch was an invaluable member of Australia's recent Cricket World Cup winning team, hitting a match-winning century against England on the opening day of the tournament this year and a crucial 81 in their semi-final against India.
The national Twenty20 captain suffered the injury during an Indian Premier League match last week.
