Cricket Australia (CA) has announced that the seamer Ellyse Perry
has undergone another ankle surgery, after it was discovered that she
had developed a minor infection following surgery on the ankle recently.
Perry had surgery on the injured left ankle last month, following
Australia's victorious campaign in India during the 2013 Women's World
Cup. Perry picked up the injury during the tail-end of the tournament.
She took 3 for 19 and scored an unbeaten 25 in the final against West
Indies.
CA chief medical officer Justin Paolini said, "Ellyse had developed some
pain in her left ankle in the last few days. We determined that the
best course of action was to perform an ankle arthroscopy and joint
washout.
"This latest surgery is expected to set Ellyse's rehabilitation timeline
back an extra 2-3 weeks. Her anticipated return to bowling is another
10-12 weeks away. At this stage we still expect Ellyse to be available
for selection for the Ashes series against England in August.
