Mustafizur Rahman to undergo shoulder surgery on August 11

Mustafizur Rahman, the young Bangladesh fast bowler, will undergo a surgery to his shoulder next Thursday (August 11). The left-armer featured in just two games for Sussex in the T20 Blast before an injury to his shoulder ruled him out. Mustafizur was recommended to undergo a surgery for his SLAP (Superior Labrum from Anterior to Posterior) tear.


"The operation will take place in London on August 11," Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) media committee director Jalal Yunus was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
 
England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) suggested Dr. Andrew Wallace of London's Fortius Clinic, who gave the youngster an appointment for next Thursday. "After Mustafizur had met him yesterday, he gave the appointment. We are confident that Mustafizur is in good hands. We want this to get over as soon as possible," Yunus added.

Despite a successful foray into international cricket last year and a commendable performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016, Mustafizur has been halted by injuries to ankle and knee already, which delayed his English county stint. The recent surgery could lead to a six-month lay off.
