ashleygiles Ashley Giles said: "It's cutting it fine for India but by getting it done next week hopefully I'll be on that plane.

"The quicker it happens the quicker I can get fit. I'm looking forward to getting it sorted and getting fit."

And Ashley Giles added: "We managed to get through the summer but there has been more pain and it looks like we'll have to get it done.

"I've got to go under the knife, fix the cartilage and remove this bone spur as well. It could be three months recovery so I will have to get it done now.

"It's a bit annoying. I was hoping to have a successful tour of Pakistan. I'm disappointed but looking forward to being on that plane to India."
