The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also announced on Saturday that Shreyas Iyer is also travelling to the UK for his back surgery. Rajat Patidar will receive treatment in England.
The BCCI announced that it would cover every cost associated with Patidar’s left heel surgery, which has forced him to withdraw from the entire IPL 2023.
“Even though Patidar is not a player under central contract, the BCCI will send him for surgery. He is one of the targeted athletes, and we will make sure he receives the best care, according to a BCCI official.
Patidar (29), who played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL playoffs last year, burst onto the national scene with a daring century and some outstanding domestic cricket performances that followed.
Prior to being sent for surgery, he was undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He is currently awaiting his visa documents at home in Indore before travelling to the UK for treatment.
His injury status was previously disclosed by his franchise in a statement. Rajat Patidar’s Achilles Heel injury has, sadly, forced him to withdraw from the IPL in 2023. We hope Rajat recovers quickly, and we’ll keep helping him along the way, the RCB said in a recent statement.
