Black Caps pace bowler Blair Tickner is pushing boundaries to recover from the dislocated shoulder he suffered against the West Indies in Wellington

He's revealed he wants to trim his expected recovery time from near twelve weeks to only five weeks...because he wants to take advantage of his impressive form!

In his first test appearance in two years, Tickner had figures of 4-32 and was hunting more scalps before his injury.



Tickner says his international return for the limited-overs tour of India in January will be a bridge too far for him as works to get back diving and fielding to build up confidence.
