“T Natarajan was never match ready”, says BCCI source
It is still unknown when the surgery will take place as he did not reflected on it. A BCCI source had recently said that the pacer had gone for rehabilitation at the NCA (National Cricket Academy). Though he was declared fit to make a return against England, he was not 100 per cent match ready.
The BCCI source added: “Now he could be out for a longer period as he had rushed his comeback without doing proper rehab.”
Natarajan gained popularity in a very short period of time after he was given a chance into the International squad. His brilliant performances in the death overs during the last IPL had earned him a spot to play in all three formats for India in Australia.
It is to be seen when the surgery is set to take place and how long the paceman will be out of action. Fans are wishing for a speedy recovery as everyone is eager to see him back on the pitch.
