Mashrafee faces double op?

SPORTS REPORTER
Injured fast bowler Mashrafee-bin-Mortuza will be taken to the treatment table on Monday for a surgery on his damaged right knee in the Australian.
But a latest development suggested that the Narail quick might have to go through a second operation on his other keen after Dr. David Young at the Avenue Hospital in Windsor completed a full investigation.
Although Mashrafee had a successful operation on his left knee in India in March last year, but the Australian surgeon has now suggested that the young paceman may require a MRI on that keen also.
A high official of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) last night con-
firmed a second MRI was necessary since the Board thought it would be a good idea to have a through check-up while he was in Australia.
"But whether Mashrafee will need another operation on his left knee or not we can't say at the moment. I have only recently learnt that that a metal plate was inserted in that leg during his surgery in India. May be the doctors in Australia want to apply a more sophisticated technique," the high official told The Daily Star Sport last night.
But even if it comes down to surgery again certainly the left keen will be treated after Monday's operation on his right knee.
The 20-year-old pace ace tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee while bowling on the third day of the second Test against England in Chittagong last month. Mashrafee went through two MRI scans in
Chittagong and Dhaka and the reports were sent to Dr. Young who suggested immediate surgery.
It is believed that Mashrafee could be sidelined for at least eight months.
Young, who is an expert in sports related injuries, recently conducted a successful operation on the groin of another Bangladesh seamer Mohammad Sharif.
Mashrafee has been dodged by injury so far in his career. The injury-prone quick couldn't play for more than a year after injuring his left knee during Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand in December 2001.
He made his return to international cricket in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa but again got hurt during a practice session before the third match against West Indies.
Mashrafee was back to bowling in the home series against South Africa and then toured Australia and Pakistan earlier this year before breaking down yet again in Chittagong on October 31.
