Northamptonshire bowler Olly Stone could miss the remainder of the season due to a serious knee injury.
Scans have shown the 22-year-old suffered the injury during their T20 Blast game with Worcestershire last Friday.
Stone has now been referred to Andrew Williams, an orthopaedic knee surgeon who specialises in sports injuries.
Northants head physio Barry Goudriaan told the club's official website: "We will do all we can to support Olly through a programme of treatment and recovery.
"He couldn't be in better hands with our local consultant Professor Bill Ribbans and now Mr Andrew Williams in London."
The injury occurred as he celebrated the wicket of Moeen Ali, and appears to have caused damage to his anterior cruciate ligament and cartilage.
Meanwhile, South Africa batsman Richard Levi is having a scan to diagnose the severity of a shoulder injury sustained against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge on Monday.
