MI’s gesture towards injured Alzarri

Mumbai: Coming into the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians pacer Alzarri Joseph impressed all as he finished with best-ever with a rich figure of six for 12 in his debut, against Sunrisers Hyderabad. But a bad tumble while fielding against Rajasthan Royals saw him dislocate his shoulder. Not only was he ruled out of the league, but also the upcoming World Cup for the West Indies. While the mental anguish cannot be discounted, MI have taken him under their wings and will be looking after the pacer till he is fit to bowl again. IANS has learnt that not only did Mumbai Indians organise for the fast bowler’s surgery, but Alzarri will undergo complete rehabilitation under the watchful eyes of the MI management and will be released only after he is fit to take the field. The entire process could take around four to five months. “He has been in Mumbai throughout and his situation was assessed and the surgery was done on April 30. He is currently recovering and has no movement on the shoulder as it is strapped. One of his family members is here to stay by his side. All his treatment and rehab will be taken care of by MI.
