Jhye Richardson is out of Aussie squad, window opens for Kane
|| Desk Report ||
Shoulder injury has put the right handed pacer Jhye Richardson out of the World Cup. The 22 years old injured himself in shoulder while diving in the boundary line in Sharjah.
That injury has become the end of him; his world cup dream is over for now. Australia Cricket (CA ) has included Kane Richardson in their 15 members squad for the World Cup.
But Jhye Richardson is confident about playing against England for Australia A. Physiotherapist of Australia Cricket David Beakley was very disappointed on the exclusion of Richardson. His dissatisfactory rehabilitation process was the main reason behind this exclusion he stated.
"After his most recent assessment and attempting to bowl in the nets, it was clear that Jhye was not progressing as fast as required and therefore, in consultation with selectors, we made the decision to withdraw him from the squad." Beakley Quoted.
But the Aussie therapist believes that the right arm bowler will be fit for the upcoming England series for Australia A.His World Cup absence is a blow for Australia because he was in scintillating from for the Australia one-day side during the home summer. In his young ODI career, he has taken 24 wickets in 12 matches so far at an average of 26.33.
For his replacement, Kane, the World Cup call-up completes a notable one-day comeback having drifted out of the reckoning until a prolific BBL - where he was the leading wicket-taker - earned him another chance, firstly for the India tour, which he was then ruled out of with injury, and then the Pakistan series in the UAE where he played two matches.
