Australian Fast Bowler Nathan Bracken's Future is in Danger Due To Injuries

Ricky Ponting, the Australian captain, has expressed concern over Nathan Bracken’s international future after the fast bowler returned home from because of a chronic knee problem. “You’d have to be concerned I guess,” Ponting said. “None of us know the extent of it just yet, we won’t know until he has it looked at properly and maybe has surgery. He’s no spring chicken, he’s had it operated on before and I believe it’s a degenerative type of condition.” Bracken had problems with his knee for a couple of years but the injury flared up in South Africa, forcing him to miss the ICC Champions Trophy. He flew to Australia on Thursday where he will see a specialist.
