Ollie Pope faces up to four months on the sidelines
England hitter Ollie Pope has been ruled out for up to four months after dislocating his left shoulder during Test 3 #raisethebat against Pakistan at the Ageas Bowl.
The injury occurred on the fourth day of the tie between the two sides, with Pope sliding to cross a boundary in front of the Stuart Broad bowling alley.
An ECB statement read “Pope underwent an MRI in London on Wednesday and was reviewed by a consultant on Thursday.
Pope, seen here fielding on the third day of the third test, injured his shoulder while diving for the ball on the fourth day of the same test.
“The Surrey player will undergo surgery on the injured shoulder in the coming weeks and will begin a rehabilitation program with the Surrey and England medical teams.
“The Pope is expected to return in time for England’s winter tours of Sri Lanka and India from early 2021.”
England beat Pakistan 1-0 in the three-match series, winning the exciting first Test over three terrains before bad weather caused the second and third Tests to end in draws.
