Australia's Test captain Tim Paine is set to go in the operating theatre for neck surgery on Tuesday and will miss the opening games of the domestic season for Tasmania.

The 37-year-old will be undergoing surgery to fix a pinched nerve that has given him pain in the neck and left arm and restricted his pre-season training.
