Australian pacer John Hastings is confident of being fit in time for the limited overs tour of India next month.
Hastings had returned home from England last week with a sore left foot after suffering an injury during Worcestershire s four-day County match against Sussex.
"I had a bit of pain in my left ankle for a little while and I thought I should get it checked out," Hastings was quoted as saying by RSN Breakfast Club.
"Obviously there s a big summer coming up and a one-day tour to India so I wanted to make sure I'd be cherry ripe, but I ended up with a hot spot in my foot.
"I am in a moon boot for a couple weeks and then I will reload and hopefully be all right for the domestic one-day cup and that one-day series in India," he said.
Hastings said his injury could have been a lot worse.
"Hot spots are a hard one to gauge on giving a time frame, sometimes you are back in six weeks and sometimes it's 12 weeks," he said.
"But they are telling me this one isn't as bad as what I have had previously, so hopefully I will pull it out of the moon boot in a couple of weeks and it will feel all right.
"From my point of view, I want to give myself the best chance of being on that tour, because I m getting to the age where you never know when it s going to be your last one," he added.
