There is not much time left for the start of the ICC World Cup. From October 5, all the top cricket teams of the world will fight to be called world champions. The World Cup being held in India has been eclipsed by the name of injury. From India to Australia, New Zealand, and Bangladesh, everyone is in its grip. England and Afghanistan are the only teams that have not been much affected by this.
Many star players will not be a part of the World Cup due to injury, which the fans are going to miss a lot. The absence of these players is also going to affect the teams.
Travis Head
Head injury is a big headache for Australia. There is a fracture in the side of the head. It is very difficult for him to play the World Cup but Australian fans are hopeful that Head will make a comeback. The role of the head of the team is very important.
Anrich Nortje
Nortje is known for his fast bowling. He is the X factor of the team. Because of playing IPL, he understands Indian pitches very well and plays an important role for the team in the middle order. However, he will not be a part of the team in the World Cup. Nortje has suffered a waist injury.
Sisanda Magala
Apart from Nortje, Sisanda Magala is also injured. Magala has been South Africa’s most important bowler in the death overs. His absence is a threat to the team. He is suffering from a left knee injury.
Tim Southee
This World Cup could have been Saudi’s last World Cup. However, he got injured while fielding in the ODI match against England last week. His thumb has undergone surgery. There is no update on his return. It seems very difficult for him to play in the World Cup.
Naseem Shah
The absence of its young bowler Naseem Shah is a big blow for Pakistan. Naseem Shah suffered a shoulder injury against India in the Asia Cup. Naseem has the power to lead the team to victory not only with bowling but also with the bat. He has been very aggressive against India also.
Ibadat Hussain
The absence of Bangladesh’s Ibadat Hussain may create problems for them. Ibadat suffered an ACL injury against Afghanistan. It is going to take at least six months for him to recover from this injury. In such a situation, he will not be a part of the team in the World Cup.
Dushmantha Chameera
Sri Lankan team’s star fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera was ruled out of the Asia Cup due to a shoulder injury. He is still not completely well. Not only Dushmantha but Wanindu Hasaranga, and Maheesh Theekshana will also have to prove their fitness before playing in the World Cup.
