Bumrah undergoes surgery, will need six months to recover

 Jasprit Bumrah has undergone a back surgery in Christchurch and the news from New Zealand is that the operation was successful and the cricketer is doing fine. The surgery was done by Dr Rowan Schouten, a noted orthopaedic surgeon attached to the Forte Orthopaedics Hospital in Christchurch.



Sources from New Zealand have confirmed the development stating that Bumrah, who has been out of action since September last year, is doing well and is on way to full recovery. An official of the hospital, however, declined a comment stating that "Any questions regarding Jasprit will be best directed to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)."


Dr Schouten, the hospital website says, "is a New Zealand trained orthopaedic surgeon specialising in the management of adult spinal conditions and hip replacement surgery." As previously reported by this website, he has treated many sportspersons, including cricketers like James Pattinson and Jason Behrendorff besides Jofra Archer.
