Hauritz to undergo surgery on dislocated shoulder
January 23rd, 2011 - 11:40 am ICT by ANISydney, Jan 23(ANI): Australian off-spinner Nathan Hauritz will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his dislocated right shoulder this week.
The team’s physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said that Hauritz, who suffered the injury while fielding a ball in the outfield during the Hobart ODI, would now face a fitness race for the 50-over World Cup in the Indian sub-continent, starting on February 19.
“Nathan Hauritz will have arthroscopic surgery of his shoulder joint in Melbourne. This is a small procedure that we hope will give him the best opportunity to be available for the World Cup,” Fox Sports quoted Kountouris, as saying.
“He will then have a period of intense rehabilitation and attempt to return to training in the coming weeks if we feel this is appropriate. His availability for the World Cup will depend on his progress through this rehabilitation,” he added.
Australia will begin their World Cup defence against Zimbabwe on February 21. (ANI)
