Injured Ferguson ruled out of Australian summer |
Australian middle-order batsman Callum Ferguson, who was injured during the Champions Trophy
final against New Zealand has been ruled out of the Australian summer after a
report confirmed that he had ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament. Ferguson
had twisted his right knee while fielding during the game in South Africa. The
scans have revealed that the extent of damage to a joint is more than what was
anticipated and he would have to sit out for six to twelve months. Cricket Australia
doctor Trefor James said the need of a knee reconstruction would keep Ferguson
away from cricket for at least six months. "Callum underwent scans in Adelaide
on Friday and saw a specialist on Saturday. After consultation with Cricket Australia
medical staff it was decided the best course of action is for him to have an ACL
knee reconstruction," The Age quoted James, as saying. "This procedure is likely
to keep him out of the game for 6-12 months," he added. The 24-year-old has a
history of injuries, and he had previously injured the same knee in 2004, while
the latest injury is a dire blow to both Ferguson and Australia, given his promising
start to international cricket. |
