Cricinfo staff12-Apr-2006Doctors have not yet ruled out the possibility that Justin Langer has sustained long-term damage after receiving a blow to his head from a Makhaya Ntini bouncer recently. While Cricket Australia’s chief medical officer, Trefor James, said the chances of lingering damage were “unlikely” , only a neurological assessment could determine the full impact of the injury.”There’s no point really in doing the testing until he sort of feels as if he’s recovered,” James told . “It’s a combination of that testing and also just a clinical assessment.”Langer’s manager, Robert Joske, reiterated that Langer will not be retiring any time soon. Indeed, said Joske, Langer was planning to “get stuck into a very tough pre-season with no intention whatsoever of slackening off”. The player is currently resting at home in Perth, but is determined to play in the Ashes later this year: “I will train like Rocky.”
