West Australian fast bowler Lance Morris will miss approximately four weeks after undergoing surgery on his non-bowling hand on November 9, 2026. The 28-year-old slipped and fell on glass during his engagement party at his parents' house on November 8, just hours after playing in a warm-up match against England at the WACA Ground.

WA Cricket's General Manager Kade Harvey confirmed the surgery was successful and expects Morris to resume bowling within a week. Morris had just returned from a 20-month injury absence, taking 3 for 29 against England, but will now miss Western Australia's one-day match against Victoria.
