Michael Carberry set for training return with Hampshire after successful cancer surgery

Michael Carberry could be back in training with Hampshire soon, just six months after being diagnosed with cancer.

The former England opener was told he had a cancerous tumour in July but is making good progress from surgery as he prepares for a return to cricket.

Hampshire's director of cricket Giles White told the Southern Daily Echo: "Carbs is doing really well after a successful operation.

"He looked a lot better when I saw him before Christmas.

"He was looking to start practising again in the new year so hopefully he'll be in the nets soon. It's now about working back to full fitness.

"We'll support him in any way we can."
