Elliott back on track for South Australia

Matthew Elliott, the South Australia batsman, will return to full training next week as he recovers from a knee injury. Elliott has been suffering from inflammation in his right knee during the past couple of weeks and missed this week's ING Cup and Pura Cup matches against Western Australia.

After receiving a cortisone injection last week and consulting an orthopedic specialist, as well as the team physiotherapist, Elliott has made significant progress and will return to full training with the State team next week.

The 34-year-old batsman will be rested from Grade cricket this weekend to enable his knee the best possible chance of recovery and resume full practice from Monday. It is anticipated that he will be available for selection for the upcoming Pura Cup match against Victoria, starting on November 26 at the St Kilda Cricket Ground.
