Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Zoysa, who is nursing a stress fracture in his ankle, is expected to be available for selection for the forthcoming Sharjah tri nation one-day tournament in October.
"He should be fit for the triangular tournament in Sharjah," declared Sri Lanka physiotherapist Alex Kountouri on Monday.
Zoysa broke down just before the three nations Coca Cola Cup in Sri Lanka in July and missed the tournament and then the Test series against India that followed. He will also miss the Asian Test Championship match against Bangladesh, which starts Thursday.
"The fracture would take 12 weeks to heal. He was in crutches for six weeks which is over and now it's the recovery part," said Kountouri.
"He says there's no pain at all at the moment, but there's no need to rush anything. He's working out at the gym these days, but he can't bowl yet," revealed Kountouri.
