Proteas middle-order batsman JP Duminy has made good progress since rupturing his left Achilles tendon during a training drill for the first Test against Australia in November last year.
Duminy has entered the next phase of his rehabilitation programme – three months since his operation – which consists of walking drills which will progress to light jogging in the next three weeks.
Proteas team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee said: “We’re really happy with the progress that JP has made post-operation. He is into his third month and we are right on schedule with his rehabilitation programme.
“We have taken a conservative approach to his treatment because of the sensitive nature of the injury, and we are hopeful he will recover as per schedule.
“In the last month his training has included swimming and cycling as well as various leg strengthening drills which make up his intensive rehab. He is also on track to begin light batting in the next three to four weeks.”
