Eden Carson Set for Surgery After Suffering Partial Ligament Tear in Right Elbow

New Zealand spinner Eden Carson is set to undergo surgery after scans confirmed a partial ligament rupture in her right elbow, ruling her out of action for the immediate future. The injury, sustained during recent training and match commitments, has been closely monitored by team medical staff, who recommended surgical intervention to ensure a full and stable recovery.

Carson’s absence is a significant setback for New Zealand’s bowling resources, as the young off-spinner has become an increasingly important part of the national setup. Medical experts expect a rehabilitation period following the procedure, though the exact timeline for her return will be determined after the surgery.

Cricket New Zealand has emphasised that Carson’s treatment plan prioritizes long-term health and performance, with a structured rehab programme to follow. Her teammates and coaching staff have extended their support, confident that she will make a strong comeback once fully fit.

The injury means Carson will miss upcoming fixtures, and selectors may need to explore alternative spin options as the team prepares for the next phase of its international schedule.
