Australia captain Ricky Ponting has undergone surgery on a wrist
injury suffered during the side's tour of the West Indies, Cricket
Australia (CA) announced on Monday.
Ponting left the tour early after sustaining the injury during the
third one-day international in St George's, Grenada on June 29.
Australia completed a 5-0 sweep in the one-day series on Sunday
after winning the three-match Test series 2-0.

"Ricky has sustained a tendon injury
that requires repair of tissues that hold the tendon in place -- this
surgery was performed today," CA medical officer Trefor James said in a
statement.
James said a decision on Ponting's availability for the home series
against Bangladesh in August and the Champions Trophy in Pakistan a
month later would be made after monitoring his recovery in the coming
weeks.
