NEW DELHI: India pacer Harshit Rana, who was ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to a knee injury, shared a positive update on Monday. Rana took to social media and posted a photo of himself following surgery.“Surgery done right, now focused on recovery and getting back to what I love,” Rana wrote.
Following Rana’s unavailability, Mohammed Siraj was named as his replacement in the squad.Rana had picked up the injury during a warm-up game earlier this week, with skipper Suryakumar Yadav admitting at the time that the pacer was “not looking good”.
The right-arm fast bowler managed to bowl just one over in the warm-up match against South Africa, conceding 16 runs before hobbling off the field with a knee issue.“Siraj, who has played 45 Tests, 50 ODIs and 16 T20Is, was named as a replacement after Rana was ruled out with an injury to his right knee that was sustained during the warm-up game against South Africa on 4 February,” the ICC said in a media release late on Friday.
