Pace sensation James Pattinson has withdrawn from the Australia A tour of England with an abdominal strain.
According to The Age, Pattinson was hurt during the rain-affected series against England, and Cricket Australia elected to send him home to complete his rehabilitation.
His stomach strain, sustained during the last, rain-affected match in Manchester, was overshadowed by injuries to Brett Lee - who has since retired from international cricket.
Victorian coach Greg Shipperd said Pattinson, 22, is expected to resume bowling at Bushrangers training next week and should be fit for his next assignment, a one-day series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates next month.
