England cricketer Jonny Bairstow took to Instagram to show off his gruesome broken leg injury that occurred while playing golf. The wicketkeeper batsman suffered a freak injury when he slipped while walking to a tee box. As a result, he has been ruled out of this month's T20 World Cup.
Alongside the chilling photo, the 33-year-old explained how the injury took place and, not only will he watch his team-mates in Australia from afar, he will not play for the rest of the year. “Hello everyone. I am just writing this to give you all an update on my injury and progress,” he began.
“The actual injury was as such… a broken fibula in 3 places which required a plate, I dislocated my ankle which in turn meant i did my syndesmosis joint and lateral ligament along with a couple more bits. All in all I have done a proper job on it!” Bairstow has already had surgery and appears to be making steady progress in his recovery.
