England cricketer Jos Buttler has undergone surgery for a hamstring injury. The injury was sustained during England's One Day International (ODI) defeat by Sri Lanka at Headingley last month.
Buttler shared an image on Instagram on Monday, showing him in a hospital bed with the caption: “Successful surgery and on the road to recovery. Feeling more motivated than ever!”
The former England white-ball captain was already ruled out of the ODI series in Pakistan and will also miss next month’s white-ball tour of Australia. The squad for the Australia tour is expected to be announced this week. No timeframe has been announced for his recovery process, with his next scheduled assignment being with Durban’s Super Giants in the SA20 in January.
