England star Jonny Bairstow has revealed he is "on the right track" in his injury recovery, but does not yet have a return date.
In September, Bairstow broke his leg in three places and dislocated his ankle in a freak accident while playing golf and underwent surgery. The injury meant Bairstow missed England's T20 World Cup win and historic series whitewash over Pakistan, but the 33-year-old is set to play a key role in a bumper 2023 which includes a home Ashes series and the 50-over World Cup.
Speaking at the MCC 'spirit of cricket' panel, Bairstow gave a promising update on his injury, revealing: "It is improving, we're on the right track, we're about four-and-a-half months post it [the injury] happening now.
