T20 World Cup: Liam Livingstone targets England's final warm-up game
An ankle injury has kept the 29-year-old out since August and he was doubtful for England's first World Cup game against Afghanistan on October 22.
"Finally, we're down to the exciting part of rehab," said he said.
"We are getting closer and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Glad to be back and playing again."
Livingstone injured himself while slipping from a curb during The Hundred and afterwards missed all of England's 4-3 series win in Pakistan.
He will also miss all three matches against World Cup hosts and defending champions Australia - England lead 1-0 after an eight-point win on Sunday.
