Wareham to undergo ACL reconstruction

The 22-year-old injured her knee last month whilst fielding in a WBBL|07 match against the Adelaide Strikers in Hobart.

Scans confirmed Wareham had injured her ACL – and following further consultation with CA’s medical team over the past week in Adelaide, it has been determined she will require a two-stage process to return to action.

"Due to her previous history, Georgia requires a two-stage process to reconstruct her left ACL,” Australian Team Doctor, Pip Inge, said.

“She had a knee arthroscopy in Adelaide last week to remove the previous graft and will now commence rehab in Melbourne while she waits for the knee to be ready for the ACL reconstruction in early 2022.

“Due to the recovery time, Georgia will be unavailable for the Ashes, World Cup and Commonwealth Games with her return to play time-frame expected to become clearer after the reconstruction.”
