South Africa's white-ball skipper Temba Bavuma has admitted that the last three months away from cricket have been extremely frustrating for him.
Bavuma suffered an elbow injury during the 5-match T20I series in India earlier this June.
He was subsequently ruled out of the Proteas' tour of England, which consisted of 3 ODIs, 3 T20Is and and as many Test matches.
Having completely recovered from the injury, Bavuma is now gearing up for a big season ahead, which includes a white-ball tour of India followed by the ICC T20I World Cup.
Here's what Temba Bavuma said ahead of the Proteas departure to India:
"The last few months have been the toughest from an injury point of view. It was definitely frustrating. Going through that period not really knowing when I was going to recover with my elbow, it was quite difficult mentally. But I'm here now, my elbow feels good, I obviously opted against the surgery, but I'm excited and blessed to have the opportunity again to run out there for the Proteas."
