Australia's Aaron Finch could still miss World T20

"This is not a recurrence of the previous hamstring injury that required surgery in April 2015.

"Although this current injury doesn't require surgery, there is a period of rehabilitation required before he can resume playing.

"We are aiming to have Aaron fit for the ICC World T20 in India but will have a better idea about his fitness for that tournament in the coming weeks, once we see how he responds to treatment and a rehabilitation program."

The Aussies open their World T20 campaign against New Zealand on March 18.
