"Ishant Sharma" Indian pacer, Ishant Sharma, will be out of team’s tour against Australia, which starts later in the year, due to an ankle surgery.

Both teams will play 4 Tests matches, two T20’s and a tri series, with the Sri Lankans being the third team. The tour will be almost 2 months long and Sharma wants to take part in the much anticipated series, even if he has to delay his surgery.

The player suffered ligament damage on his left ankle in the third Test match of the England tour but bowled through pain. However after a proper look, the fast bowler was advised to rest, which effectively ruled him out of the limited overs series.

The youngster knows the significance of a series Down Under and for that he is taking appropriate rehabilitation treatment in order to make himself fit in three months time. A longer process effectively means surgery, which will keep the bowler out of action for at least 6 months, a gamble he is not willing to take.

Ishant while speaking with the various sources has stated that, the tour of Australia is very important and said that, he will get the surgery done after the Australian tour. The Indian pacer also added that, surgery is a must, even though it means he could miss other important cricketing events, mainly the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League, which start after the Kangaroos tour.

Delhi player, Ishant while speaking with the various sources has said that, he had a ligament tear in his left foot, and there is also a bone impingement in my left ankle. Surgery is the only way out. But, if he undergoes that now, his foot will be in plaster for about three months and the rehabilitation in all could take about 6-8 months.
