    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kolkata, Aug 9 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>&nbsp;India&#39;s Test wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha, who on Thursday returned to the city after a shoulder injury in Manchester, oozed optimisim that he would be fit for the Australia tour in December.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saha added that he won&#39;t be able to move his hands for three weeks. &quot;It&#39;s not easy. You cannot move the hand and keep it at one position. It&#39;s worse than facing fast bowlers. But this is the only way to go forward and make a comeback,&quot; Saha told reporters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sporting a stubble, Saha&#39;s right hand was heavily strapped from below the elbow. The 33-year-old had a laberal repair surgery at the Arm Clinic in Manchester.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a couple of weeks&#39; rest, Saha&#39;s rehab would begin at the Bengaluru-based National Cricket Academy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the Indian Premier League (IPL), Saha suffered a thumb injury that kept him out of the one-off Test against Afghanistan in June.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was later discovered that Saha was carrying a shoulder injury that ruled him out of contention for the ongoing tour of England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Australia Test series begins in December 6, which may be a realistic chance of Saha&#39;s comeback plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s still a long way to go for the Australia tour (in December). Let&#39;s see, I&#39;m keeping my fingers crossed,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Nobody can have a say on injury which is a part and parcel of a sportsperson&#39;s career. But one should not play with injury.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Normally in 55 per cent cases this injury does not recur after it&#39;s healed. It all depends the way I recover and how I recover. I don&#39;t want to fasten it and take my time. I want to go slow so that this does not aggravate again,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
