Last September, Jonny Bairstow was sidelined for a long time with an injury while playing golf. He was announced in the World Cup squad but was later withdrawn.

Through this innings, the 33-year-old cricketer also gave the message to the selectors to play the Ashes. Bairstow had a great 2022 home season. He scored 681 runs at an average of 75.66 with four centuries and another innings of 71 runs. But he injured his leg in September.

According to cricket website ESPNcricinfo, he slipped on the golf course and injured the lower part of his left leg. Later he had to undergo surgery. Bairstow has scored 5482 runs with 12 centuries after playing 89 Tests in his career so far. He played 66 international T20; 1 337 runs in 8 fifties. This batsman who played 180 matches in recognized T20 scored 4304 runs in 3 centuries. Bairstow can return to the field with the Ashes series against Australia. The test match between the two arch-rivals will be held in June-July.
