“The incident saw him leave the field and take no further part in the match, with subsequent scans revealing surgery was required,” a Scorchers statement said. “An exact timeframe for Turner’s return will be determined in due course.”
Turner had been dealing with the knee issue throughout the season and did not play in Western Australia’s last two Sheffield Shield matches before the BBL break. It was known that surgery was a possibility, but the Scorchers had hoped to have him play through the competition.
The Scorchers are now considering who will replace Turner as captain, with a decision expected before their match against Melbourne Renegades at Optus Stadium on Boxing Day.
Turner recently secured an IPL deal worth AU$178,000 with Lucknow Super Giants, who will be coached by Justin Langer, in the auction on Tuesday. The tournament is set to start around March 22.
The Scorchers, who are aiming for a third consecutive title, are currently in second place in the table with two wins from three matches. Their first game of the season against Renegades in Geelong was abandoned due to a dangerous pitch.
