Australia star allrounder Perry out of T20 World CupAustralia's Ellyse Perry has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup with a hamstring injurySYDNEY - Defending champions Australia were dealt a heavy blow Tuesday as star player Ellyse Perry was ruled out of the rest of Twenty20 World Cup with a hamstring injury. The world's top-ranked women's allrounder limped off in pain after attempting a run out during Australia's narrow win over New Zealand on Monday. Cricket Australia said she would miss the four-time champion's semi-final in Sydney on Thursday and the final on Sunday if they get that far. So severe is the injury that she will also be unavailable for Australia's tour of South Africa later this month. "We are currently exploring management options and will continue to support Ellyse through her recovery."
