[December 18, 2001 - 9:45 GMT]

Brian Lara has showered praise on the medical team that treated him at the Kandy General Hospital. Lara, one of the best batsmen in the world, was injured during a mid-wicket collision while batting against Sri Lanka at the Asgiriya International Cricket Stadium Saturday. He underwent a successful surgical procedure to reset his dislocated left elbow.

According to West Indies Team Manager Ricky Skerritt, Lara wanted to thank as many of the hospital staff as he could for the high priority they placed on taking care of him during his 7-hour stay in the hospital.

“Sri Lanka should be proud of the speed and efficiency of the response by the medical team and the Kandy General Hospital staff to the emergency caused by Lara’s unfortunate accident”, Skerritt said.
