AB de Villiers to undergo surgery

Durban, Sept 27 (IBNS): South African cricketer AB de Villiers is all set to undergo surgery to repair a troublesome left elbow impingement injury after failing to respond to rehab and treatment, officials said.

He will also miss the upcoming home and away series’ against Australia due to the surgery.

"De Villiers failed a fitness test on Tuesday morning, and will miss the upcoming home and away series’ against Australia due to the surgery," read the Cricket South Africa website.

Proteas team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee was quoted as saying by the website: “ AB de Villiers is still symptomatic and has not recovered from his elbow impingement injury which makes surgery the only long-term solution. We have tried the conservative management of rest, physio, rehab and cortisone infiltration into the elbow, but that has not yielded the results that we would have liked. He will have surgery to the elbow early next week and the target is to hopefully have him back for the Sri Lankan home series over the Christmas period.”
