Bracken settles dispute over injury

Former Test cricketer Nathan Bracken looks to have settled his case against Cricket Australia over the management of a knee injury he suffered.

The former left-arm quick launched legal action against Cricket Australia and three medical professionals in 2013 for compensation over the management of the injury he suffered in 2007.

He alleged the organisation engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct, was negligent and in breach of contract.

The Supreme Court heard on Wednesday an in principle settlement was reached during mediation this month, with the parties expected to return to court in July.

"It is an ongoing matter but in principle the matter has been settled," a Cricket Australia spokesperson said.
