england allrounder paul collingwood has undergone successful routine arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to remove 'loose bodies' and correct cartilage damage. Collingwood will begin his recovery and rehabilitation period with durham and is expected to be available for them ahead of the twenty20 and one-day international series against sri lanka in june.

Collingwood, 34, had been struggling with a knee injury since england's one-day series in australia prior to the world cup, and is missing the fourth edition of the indian premier league due to his injury.

He retired from test cricket after the ashes in january and repeatedly said he wanted to prolong his one-day and twenty20 career despite a prolonged slump in form.

He was dropped for two of england's six group matches at the world cup and didn't play in the crunch game against west indies or the quarter-final defeat to sri lanka, but remains the twenty20 captain.

He had been due to take up a deal with rajasthan royals after the world cup, but has since been replaced in their squad by new zealand allrounder jacob oram.
