Tiwary to undergo surgery

New Delhi: Manoj Tiwary, who returned home from the Bangladesh tour after suffering a shoulder injury, will undergo surgery after scans on Saturday revealed a tear, ruling him out of cricket for three to four weeks.

Tiwary, who picked up the injury during a fielding practice session before the first ODI against Bangladesh, will be operated upon on May 14, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said in a release.

A BCCI statement said MRI scans were conducted on Tiwary in Mumbai, which revealed ``a tear of antero inferior labrum.'' The young cricketer was examined by Dr. Anant Joshi, who will be carrying out the arthroscopic surgery as well.

``Post surgery, he is likely to be in a sling for three to four weeks and will then require rehab before full function can be achieved,'' the Board said.

Tiwary, who was on his first tour with the team in Bangladesh, had to come back without playing a single match. His right shoulder apparently came out and had to be relocated by team physio John Gloster. — PTI
