Christchurch after fracturing his hand during training at Lincoln on Friday. The all-rounder sustained a blow to his right-hand while batting in the nets, with an X-Ray later revealing a fracture to his fifth metacarpal (pinkie finger).
New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell has been ruled out of the ongoing T20 Tri-Series against Pakistan and Bangladesh in Christchurch after fracturing his hand during training at Lincoln. The all-rounder sustained a blow to his right-hand while batting in the nets, with an X-Ray later revealing a fracture to his fifth metacarpal (pinkie finger). The physio for the Tri-Series Theo Kapakoulakis confirmed Mitchell's hand had been placed in a cast which would need to remain on for at least two weeks.
WELLINGTON : New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell is doubtful for the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia after fracturing the little finger on his right hand, the team said on Friday.
It has been a decade but Bhuvneshwar Kumar's debut in what was the last bilateral series between India and Pakistan, seems like yesterday. The very second delivery of his international career swung away and after pitching viciously tailed in to disturb opener Nasir Jamshed's timber. Bhuvneshwar has not bowled such a delivery in the last two years. Now that he is expected to lead the Indian attack at the T20 World Cup, his own performance at the death overs is under the scanner.
With three wins to their name, India will look to continue their momentum when they clash against Pakistan in the ongoing Women's Asia Cup on Friday. The match against arch-rival Pakistan comes three days after India's victory over Malaysia. Team India are currently at the top of the points table while Pakistan is in second. Pakistan enters this contest after suffering a four-wicket loss against Thailand on Thursday. In the previous game against Malaysia, Smriti Mandhana had been rested so it needs to be seen whether the stylish left-handed batter makes her way back into the side for the clash against Pakistan.
Pakistani speedster Shaheen Afridi might have missed out on cricketing duties of late but he has one eye on the forthcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. With Shaheen out injured, Pakistan have struggled to express themselves as well as they want to on the cricket field. Just days before the start of the T20 World Cup 2022, Shaheen has fired a warning to rival teams and their fans.
Bangladesh will take on Pakistan in the first match of the tri-series, also featuring hosts New Zealand, at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Bangladesh head into the match following a 2-0 T20I series win over the United Arab Emirates. Pakistan, on the other hand, went down fighting against England in a seven-match series. Pakistan's middle-order has been their achilles heel since the start of the Asia Cup in September.
Out of action since March 2021, England pacer Jofra Archer is gradually inching closer to a return. The marquee fast bowler has missed plenty of important cricketing assignments due to an injury and will not be a part of the England squad in the T20 World Cup 2022 either. But, as far as the plans for 2023 go, Jofra could be in the thick of the action for England. In fact, the pacer could return to action as soon as January next year in a bilateral series against South Africa.
