Plays of the Week
History making catches, AFLW coathangers and outrageous long range efforts, these are the plays of the week.
Brisbane Heat batsman Lynn, who averaged more than 150 in BBL06 with a strike rate above 177, was selected in Australia's 13-man squad despite his ongoing neck issue.
He has not played since Australia's first one-day international against Pakistan on January 13 in Brisbane.
"Chris resumed some light training as part of his rehabilitation but was still unable to function at the level he needs to play international cricket due to his existing neck injury," Australian team physiotherapist Kevin Sims said.
A time frame for his recovery is unknown, with Lynn to see a specialist this week.
He has also been plagued by shoulder problems the past three seasons.
Dunk last played Twenty20 cricket for Australia in 2014 in three matches against South Africa.
He hit 364 runs in the 2016-17 BBL, opening the batting for the Strikers and averaging 52 at a strike rate of 164.
