Fast bowler Timm Van der Gugten is on course to return to fitness ahead of Glamorgan’s County Championship opener at Northampton on 7 April.
The seamer suffered a shoulder injury while diving in the field playing for Netherlands against Hong Kong in the Intercontinental Cup last month. Van der Gugten, 25, did not return to action after the injury on the first day of the game, bowling only seven overs and was unable to bat.
Timm returned to Australia for treatment and assessment, before arriving in Wales earlier this month in preparation for the county season.
The paceman, who was born in New South Wales, claimed 82 wickets in all formats in his debut season in the UK and won Glamorgan’s Player of the Year for 2016.
“We’ve been really pleased with Timm’s progress and return to training,” said Mark Rausa Glamorgan Physiotherapist.
"Shoulder injuries can be difficult to heal, especially for fast bowlers, but the work Timm has put in with his rehabilitation has meant he has recovered ahead of schedule and we expect he will be available for selection ahead of the first County Championship clash of the year.”
