South African cricketer Mondli Khumalo has been taken out of a medically induced coma and is making "great progress" after being assaulted outside a pub on May 29.
Khumalo represented South Africa at the Under-19 World Cup in 2020 and is contracted to Kwa-Zulu Natal Inland. The 20-year-old is in the midst of a stint as an overseas professional for North Petherton Cricket Club in Somerset and was out celebrating a win with the team when he was attacked in the early hours of the morning.
Khumalo suffered a fractured skull and has had three operations, with the latest removing a blood clot on his brain. And Khumalo's North Petherton teammate Lloyd Irish has offered a promising update on his condition.
