Nehra begins rehabilitation

Ashish Nehra will undergo two months of physiotherapy in London in a bid to recover his fitness following surgery last month on his injured right ankle.

Nehra will fly to South Africa this weekend to have the plaster cast removed, and will then travel to London to begin his rehabilitation.

He is not expected to resume playing for at least five months, but told the Press Trust of India that he was not too concerned at the lay-off. "It's OK, there is no cricket for five months," he said. "If there had been any match, then there would have been some disappointment."
