Fast bowler likely to be out for six months Franklin to have knee surgery November 7, 2007
New Zealand fast bowler James Franklin will miss the one-day series against South Africa and Australia because of a knee injury which requires surgery. Franklin has missed the last six months of cricket because of the injury which flared again in a trial match for his state side Wellington, forcing him to pull out of the New Zealand squads. He will have surgery later this month, which will prevent him from taking part in the three-ODI series against South Africa which starts on November 25 and the Chappell-Hadlee series in December. A replacement for the series against South Africa will be named later this week. Franklin could miss even more international cricket, with his rehabilitation expected to take between four and six months. During that period New Zealand host Bangladesh for three one-dayers in December and then England for five ODIs in February. A more realistic target may be the return five-ODI series in England, which kicks off in June. © Cricinfo
