England women’s fast bowler Katherine Brunt has undergone surgery on her back for the second time.

The surgery, carried out on Wednesday, was intended to relieve Brunt’s symptoms associated with a chronic disc bulge, which can include severe pain and fatigue.

“It became a real issue just before the Ashes,£ she said. “I got through the Ashes series just about in one piece. It was a real, real struggle to play anywhere near my best cricket.

“I was probably going at about 70 per cent but I got through it, which was great and then after that I had to take quite a big break to make myself fit in time for this Ashes coming.”

Brunt is expected to make a full recovery and return to competitive cricket in time for this year’s Ashes series.
