Sounds like he had screws inserted previously for a shoulder dislocation. Has returned to the nets batting and bowling but how long before he plays will depend on extent of surgery. Pocknall here says could be 6 weeks or up to 9 months.Disappointing news for firebirds followers.... one of the blokes from Hutt D mentioned Ravindra is out for a very long time like over a year or more. Looking up he scored nearly 450 runs at an average of 75 and 9 wickets @ 37 vs WI/Pak A this season. Could have been a backup late middle order bat that also bowls but looks like he won't be able to play for a while to come. Don't quote me on this though but that's what I've heard. Why don't firebirds come out with a release about the injury. Same happens with all the domestic sides. They don't let out news about injuries at all.
Now I'll start backing Cole McConchie and Rippon for India series later this year.
Very disappointing, looks like he was definitely going to UK. Still not all is lost if he's back by the start of the next season, he'll make that India trip which is where I think we'll need him most.Sounds like he had screws inserted previously for a shoulder dislocation.

Surgery to sideline Firebirds rising star Rachin Ravindra, Jimmy Neesham to return early
As one key man braces for surgery, Black Caps allrounder is poised for an early return from injury.i.stuff.co.nz
Sometimes wonder if we are reading the same things!Very disappointing, looks like he was definitely going to UK.
Lol..I get it but I know how the media works first hand. If they dropped a hint then you know for sure it was on. Besides heard from someone quite connected it was a given.Sometimes wonder if we are reading the same things!
I'm sure he'll be treated through the private system - no doubt NZCPA will have them paying the appropriate health insurance premiums.Not all I hear is always bang on though. 1 year was a bit of stretch I suppose. Someone got a bit too emotional in the club maybe and extended the 6 months to one year. Was wondering how a shoulder surgery and recovery can take upto 1 year. At most likely 6 months including recovery. Quite a common injury with baseballers.
The problem in NZ is the immediate availability of dates for surgery. A national hockey player who's a colleague at work had similar injury but for him to get a date to sort it out was a big issue. I think he got a date like 8 months after sustaining injury. Our health system is not all that flash. Maybe rugby and cricket players get it sorted a bit earlier.
I still wouldn't pick him, Bangladesh at a push now they've added T20sAllen simply has to play the Australian series, you can't leave a player out in this kind of form.
LOL, they don't ask for a mobile/credit card even for the trial?about my eight different emails and 7-day free trials
