He's targeting a return to play in September or October.

He will arrive in the UK prior to the third test at Leeds next week.
CD teammate Dane Cleaver has received his maiden test call-up as a replacement for wicketkeeper Cam Fletcher who has also been ruled out of the tour with a right hamstring strain.
Fletcher sustained the injury while fielding on the fourth day at Trent Bridge and will require up to eight weeks to recover.
