Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher could regain most of the sight in his left eye his doctor said on Thursday.

 

"While it is impossible to predict the long-term outcome of Mark's eye injury, his medical team are nevertheless cautiously optimistic that he will have a reasonable recovery of the vision in his left eye," his doctor Peter Sandell said in a statement.

"Over the next three to six months, Mark will undergo further surgery procedures in an attempt to improve his vision."
