Van Biljon damaged the rotator cuff in his shoulder while fielding in the rained-out Momentum One-Day Cup game against the Lions.

Van Biljon’s surgery was postponed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, however, he went under the knife on Wednesday.

Van Biljon told OFM Sport that the procedure was successful and he will be isolated for the next two weeks as a precaution.

“It was a good operation and I have checked myself into a flat here to isolate for two weeks as a precaution.

“It is quite sore at the moment but I have some painkillers just to get me through. I am still and trying not to move too much, so hopefully in two days or so the pain will start getting a bit better.

“Otherwise I am in good spirits and looking forward to the recovery.”

Earlier in the year, Van Biljon made his long-awaited Proteas debut during the T20 International series against Australia.

He was set for his international debut a couple of weeks earlier against England in the T20 series, however, during training, he tore the webbing between his index and middle finger.
