“Usually, it takes a player at least six weeks to recover completely if he’s down with a Grade III hamstring injury. However, the necessary scanning and all will determine if the recovery could take longer and whether the cricketer concerned has to undergo surgery or not,” said a coach in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) where the senior India batsman will stay for recovery.

The former India captain, who was previously dropped from India’s Test series, finished his IPL campaign with an underwhelming 133 runs from 7 games, with the highest score of 44 at a strike rate of 103. India is scheduled to play a one-off Test, 3 T20Is and as many ODIs against England. Rahane was part of the Indian squad which had taken a 2-1 lead in the Test series against England last year.
