Left-arm pacer Ashish Nehra, who was forced to miss the on-going tri-series in Dhaka due to a
troubled knee, will undergo a surgery next week, which will keep him out of action for three months.
Nehra, who was the toast of the side for his fine bowling in the World Cup in South Africa where India finished runners-up behind Australia, told reporters in Rohtak that his knee-joint will be operated upon on April 17.
Saying that he needs at least three months rest after the operation, Nehra hopes he will be completely fit to take the field after that and be available for selection to the national side.
Nehra was one of the five members of the World Cup team who opted out of the tri-series in Dhaka for various reasons.
