"He has been having some discomfort since returning from the World Cup. Our medical staff decided we needed to find out the cause, and he will be having the operation next week," Lancashire's cricket manager, Mike Watkinson, said. "England are aware of the situation," he added. Mahmood, bowled 27 overs in the First Division County Championship match against Sussex at Hove, but has been hampered when fielding as a result of the injury, according to Watkinson. "It will take five to six weeks before we can expect to have him back on a cricket field," the former England all-rounder added.
