South African all rounder Jacques Kallis is going to have a surgery to repair his tennis elbow. Kallis is scheduled to have this operation in his left elbow on the 31st of this month. He will be wearing elbow splints for about 10 days and then begin the rehabilitation process of regaining lost strength in his elbow and it might take from four to six weeks for the same. Kallis will be missing South Africa’s tour of Sri Lanka which is from July to September and this also includes a triangular One Day Series with Sri Lanka and India being the other two teams. The all rounder is targeting to make a comeback during the ICC Champions Trophy that is to be held in October. Kallis had been troubled with this tennis elbow since the Australian tour which he had missed. He did comeback into cricket to play the two home series against Australia and New Zealand and recently joined Gary Sobers in achieving the rare double of scoring 8000 Test runs and taking 200 Test wickets.
