Concerns arose when the BCCI announced on October 25 that speedster Mayank Yadav, who made his international debut in the T20Is against Bangladesh, would miss India's four-match series against South Africa scheduled from November 8-15, due to injury.
Sources have told IANS that Mayank, who took four wickets in India's 3-0 series victory against Bangladesh, is likely to be sidelined for a few months because of a back problem.
Mayank is currently at the BCCI's newly inaugurated Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. “He's back here for another problem, which might keep him out for two-three months.
Mostly its something related to the back, but there's not much clarity into it. But then, it's also something which is believed to keep him out for a considerable amount of time. “The way with which he came here, the first feelers from it are giving a look of him being out for two-three months initially and maybe, it could be more,” said the source to IANS.
