Kaneria sidelined after surgery

Danish Kaneria
Kaneria is recuperating in Pakistan after his operation

Pakistan and Essex spinner Danish Kaneria faces six weeks on the sidelines following finger surgery.

The 27-year-old broke his finger against Worcestershire last week and returned to Pakistan for the operation.

Kaneria said: "There was a fracture in my right hand ring finger which I sustained while taking a caught and bowled chance.

"I have had the surgery to set it right. Hopefully I should be bowling again after six weeks."

Kaneria enjoyed a successful first season with Essex taking 75 wickets in all competitions.

But his chances of making a swift return after the injury are limited as Pakistan do not have any international matches confirmed until next year.
