Surgery to sideline Wharf

Glamorgan will be without the services of Alex Wharf for at least a month after the seam bowler suffered a torn knee cartilage.
The 33-year-old former Yorkshire player picked up the injury during last week's game against Oxford UCCE.
"I'll have an operation in early May and then hopefully I'll be fit for Glamorgan's Twenty20 Cup campaign," said Wharf.
"It's very frustrating especially when you look forward to the summer and then you get injured. I played all the pre-season friendlies but then pulled up with the knee just before the Oxford game.
"The best case scenario is that I'll be back 12 days after the operation which I'm due to have on 5 May.
"In a way it's a good thing this has happened now, rather than me breaking down later in the season and the injury being more serious."
