(Reuters) - A tumultuous nets session at Old Trafford left one Australian batsman ruled out of the Cricket World Cup and another screaming in pain but coach Justin Langer said the hard training would pay dividends on the field.

Middle order batsman Shaun Marsh will need surgery to fix a broken forearm after being struck by a rising Pat Cummins delivery, while all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was also sent to hospital after he was hit by a Mitchell Starc ball.
