The English wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow suffered a leg injury while playing golf. He was ruled out from the T20 World squad of England.  However, he had successful leg surgery and he will be out of action until next year.

Bairstow took to his Instagram handle and shared frightful pictures on Tuesday and he said, “Hello everyone. I am just writing this to give you all an update on my injury and progress. The actual injury was as such… a broken fibula in 3 places which required a plate, I dislocated my ankle which in turn meant I did my syndesmosis joint and lateral ligament along with a couple more bits. All in all I have done a proper job on it!

“Anyway… on the positive side the operation went well and I am now 3 weeks post surgery and my staples have been removed,” he added. “It’s now all about swelling prevention and getting my ankle moving once again. These next few weeks/couple of months are the key to the recovery.

“As for a time scale on return to play I’m afraid it is too early to say, the first targets in mind are getting me back on my 2 feet again and making sure it’s right. One thing is for sure and that is I shall not be partaking in anything more during 2022…however, I cannot wait for what 2023 holds!! Thanks for your support as always”, he further added.

Alex Hales replaced the 33-year-old  in England’s T20 World Cup squad. Bairstow has been in prolific form in 2022 as he scored 1,061 runs and is a vital part of England’s line-up.
