Tiwary ruled out for Ireland series

Surgery on cards, the batsman is likely to be out of action for 6-7 weeks Posted online: Sunday, May 13, 2007 at 0000 hours IST kolkata I may 12: The shoulder injury that Manoj Tiwary picked up a few days back in Bangladesh appears to have spelt his doom big time. After BCCI medical expert Dr Anant Joshi pronounced today that a surgery will have to be conducted on Tiwary?s right shoulder tear, it was learnt that the player won?t be able to get back into action before the first week of July. But Tiwary told The Sunday Express that he has asked Dr Joshi to give him a couple of days to consider the surgery options. With the Indian team scheduled to take part in the ODI series in Ireland in the last week of June, Tiwary?s hopes of an India cap will virtually be pushed back to as far as mid-August when the India-England one-day series begins, following the Test series. Speaking to The Sunday Express from Mumbai, Dr Joshi explained that scomplete recovery following the operation would take a little over 6 weeks. ?The operation entails repairing an injury in the shoulder called anterior inferior labrum tear. Technically, the process is called bankart repair of a part of the capsule labrum,? Dr Joshi said. In simple words, the operation will put the middle-order batsman in a sling for about four weeks. Add another two to three weeks of recovery time and it means the Bengal player will not be ready for action before the first week of July. Tiwary dislocated his right shoulder at a practice session at Mirpur, Dhaka two days before the first India-Bangladesh ODI. The agile fielder apparently dived during practice and severely hurt his shoulder, following which physio John Gloster somehow managed to relocate the shoulder. A day before the first ODI, Tiwary was flown back to Kolkata. An MRI scan in Mumbai this afternoon under the watchful eyes of Dr Joshi revealed the extent of the tear and need for prompt surgery. ?Two days after the surgery, Tiwary can go back home (in Kolkata) and take complete rest. Then over the next few weeks, he will have to fly down to Mumbai frequently for two-day trips for regular medical check-ups,? the BCCI doctor said.

Re: Tiwary ruled out for Ireland series I read that Tiwary was taking a second opinion on the surgery to be done? He must try to get fit before the England tour!

Re: Tiwary ruled out for Ireland series Tough luck for the guy. Selectors should use this chance to give others a shot, though.
