Summary
BK is a 25-year-old professional male cricketer who plays for an international team. He has been in the squad for the majority of the last four seasons. Twelve months ago he sustained a right hand injury while fielding in the slips, which meant he was out of action for six months. After making a good recovery, he regained his place in the squad. Two weeks ago during an overseas tour, he was hit in the same area while batting in the nets but was expected to be fit to play again in two to three weeks’ time.
