Having taken an age to sign him, it appears likely that Daniel Vettori’s stint with Warwickshire might be limited to just a single match, after it was confirmed today that he is suffering from a stress fracture to his back. He will return to New Zealand to undergo treatment immediately.Vettori, the New Zealand left-arm spinner, bowled 31 overs in Warwickshire’s draw against Middlesex at Lord’s last week, before his back injury flared up again – the same which has dogged his Test career so far.”Dan was looking forward to being part of a successful [Warwickshire] set-up this summer but clearly now he will need to focus his energies on getting healthy,” Mark Greatbatch, director of coaching, said.”We wish him well for a speedy recovery and share his disappointment at having to return home so soon. We all hope it is not too long before he is back in action.”
