New Delhi: Senior India fast bowler Ashish Nehra is set to undergo a surgery to treat a “high-grade tendon injury” he picked up on his right knee earlier this month.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad spearhead suffered a hamstring tendon injury during an IPL match against Kings XI Punjab on May 15, which cut his stint short and forced him out of the rest of the tournament. “BCCI medical team confirms that India medium pacer, Ashish Nehra, injured his right knee during the IPL 2016.
"Assessment and investigation by BCCI medical staff revealed Nehra sustained a high-grade tendon injury and was recommended to consult Dr Andrew Williams, orthopedic specialist in London. Post consultation, Dr Williams has advised surgery on his right knee,” BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke said.
