Bairstow suffered the freak injury – thought to be a broken left leg – while playing golf in Leeds on Friday. He is said to have slipped while walking to a teebox. He will see a specialist next week to determine the full extent of the injury, but Bairstow has revealed he requires surgery and is likely to be out for the remainder of the year.
