Shoulder injury cuts short Holland’s season – Cricket News Update
Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jon-Holland-c1724, will miss the remainder of the domestic campaign after undergoing a shoulder reconstruction.
"It's disappointing news but I have come back from this before and I believe I still have a lot of good cricket ahead of me," Holland said. "I was hoping that it may have been better news, but it wasn't to be, so I'll commence my rehabilitation and I'll work hard to come back."
The news of his injury only came days after his performances were singled out by national selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, where he picked up 10 wickets.
His contributions in the early Sheffield Shield games were restricted mainly due to the pace prowess at Victoria’s disposal, which includes Test specialists in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Wayne-Hastings-c68914.
However, he was still expected to play a major part in Victoria’s overall campaign before a shoulder injury cut short his season. The player sustained the problem while throwing a ball from outfield in a club cricket match at the weakened.
This is not the first time he has suffered a shoulder injury. Holland had undergone an operation two summers ago, and further missed most part of the 2007-2008 campaign. The latest setback will force Cricket Australia to find a suitable back up for Test regular http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Michael-Lyon-c78822.
Lyon’s own performances were a cause of serious concern for the national selectors, but they were keen to retain him for the first Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, which starts next month. He is now expected to be the team’s premier spinner for the whole summer.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672, the former leg-spinner, had also picked out Holland for special praise after working with him during last season’s Big Bash League. Moreover, the spin wizard had pencilled him, along with Lyon, as two preferred spin options for the Ashes tour next year.
