“On the plus side, the surgery went well and I’m now three weeks post-op and have my staples removed. It’s now all about preventing swelling and getting my ankle moving again,” it continued. .
Bairstow, 33, added it was too early to say when he could expect to start playing again, but he certainly wouldn’t be back before the end of the year.
