Mayank Yadav To Undergo Surgery In NZ, 'Follow Same Surgical Route As Bumrah'
Last Updated: Mayank Yadav will undergo back surgery in New Zealand just like Jasprit Bumrah's recovery path under Dr. Rowan Schouten. Injured fast bowler Mayank Yadav is set to follow Jasprit Bumrah's path to address his persistent back problem. Sources informed IANS that Yadav is likely to travel to New Zealand for surgery on his troublesome back. It is understood that Dr. Rowan Schouten, a renowned orthopaedic spine surgeon based in Christchurch, New Zealand, is expected to perform the surgery. Dr. Schouten has previously operated on Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna in 2023, as well as Australian pacers Jason Behrendorff and James Pattinson. Last year, Dr. Schouten, along with surgeon Grahame Inglis, operated on Australian all-rounder Cameron Green after he suffered a stress fracture in his lower back. 'Yes, it's confirmed that to resolve Mayank Yadav's recurring back issue, he will follow the same surgical route as Jasprit Bumrah. The entire process, including pre- and post-surgery steps, will mirror what Bumrah experienced," sources told IANS. 'This approach is deemed suitable because it will significantly enhance Mayank's longevity as a fast bowler. Mayank has been briefed about this and will depart for New Zealand in a few days. Post-surgery, he is expected to stay for 22 to 25 days to ensure proper rehabilitation and recovery." 'With the surgery being conducted by the same doctor who operated on Bumrah and was consulted during his recovery from the back injury sustained in the Sydney Test, it is widely believed among key stakeholders in India that Mayank will avoid repeated injuries or back-related issues in the future," sources said. After debuting for India in the three T20Is against Bangladesh in October 2024, Yadav was ruled out of the 2024/25 domestic season due to a back stress issue. His return to IPL 2025 for the Lucknow Super Giants, who retained him before last year's auction, was further delayed due to a toe infection caused by kicking his bed. After joining the Super Giants' camp on 16 April, Yadav played only two matches in IPL 2025, against Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings, where his pace was in the 130s, a drop from the speeds he clocked last year. He also relied on variations like slower balls and cutters. Following the tournament's resumption after a ten-day pause due to cross-border tension between India and Pakistan, Yadav was ruled out of Super Giants' campaign due to his back injury resurfacing, with the franchise bringing in New Zealand pacer Will O'Rourke as his replacement. By following the recovery path that Bumrah once took for a similar back injury, there is hope that the young fast bowler Mayank Yadav will recover well and make a strong return to competitive cricket, including playing for the Indian team again.
