Jonny Bairstow will make his comeback from a leg injury this week when he seems for Yorkshire’s second string towards Nottinghamshire, because the England batsman appears to be like to construct up his health ahead of the Ashes sequence towards Australia.
Bairstow has not performed since struggling a freak injury on a golf course in September, which dominated him out of the 2022 Twenty20 World Cup and take a look at sequence in Pakistan and New Zealand.
“He’s had such a long layoff, so it’s a fitness assessment for him to see what his capacity is and what he can do on the field in terms (of) running around in the outfield or standing behind the stumps,” Yorkshire head coach Ottis Gibson mentioned on Sunday.
“He will probably do both to see which one he’s most comfortable with.”
The five-test Ashes sequence will start at Edgbaston on June 16. England misplaced the earlier version 4-0 in Australia.
