Tim Paine Neck Surgery: Australia’s Test captain Tim Paine is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday to relieve neck pain ahead of the Ashes series against England in December. The 37-year-old wicketkeeper hopes that he will be fully fit to lead the Test team for the home Ashes series this season (Ashes Series 2021). The purpose of this surgery is to cure the problem of his neck vein. Due to this pain, he could not land in the camp with the home team Tasmania.
