England middle order batsman Jonny Bairstow could be part of the national team for the Ashes series at home as he is progressing in the right direction in his recovery from injury. In September last year, he slipped on the golf course and injured his leg and dislocated ankle, missing the T20 World Cup in Australia and then the tour of Pakistan.
Bairstow then had to undergo foot surgery. The Ashes take place in June-July this year and if fully fit, the 33-year-old will be the first choice to be picked in the squad as he brings strength to England’s batting line-up. Last year, Bairstow was in excellent form, scoring four Test centuries, but then picked up an injury. According to the ‘Yorkshire Post’, Bairstow told Marylebone Cricket Club’s ‘Spirit of Cricket’ panel on Wednesday: “(The foot injury) is improving, we are moving in the right direction.” It’s been almost four and a half months since the injury. ,
Although Bairstow is certain to return until the Ashes, he did not specify the exact date of the return. “I don’t have a return date yet, I’ll see the surgeon at the end of this month, so I’ll wait and see how it goes,” he added. But things are moving in the right direction.
