Kiwi pacer faces injury concerns before T20 World Cup

Men’s T20 World Cup have hit a snag with Lockie Ferguson dealing with a calf injury. The fast bowler was sidelined after getting hurt during an ILT20 match in Dubai last month. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw from the rest of the tournament and will also miss the Big Bash League, which puts his participation in the T20 World Cup in doubt.

Ferguson, who is 34 years old, was a crucial part of New Zealand’s plans for the upcoming T20 World Cup. He was set to play in the five-match T20I series in India as part of his preparation for the tournament. However, his recovery is taking longer than expected, adding to New Zealand’s woes as they are also missing Will O’Rourke due to a back injury. This leaves the team short on fast-bowling options and facing uncertainty as the T20 World Cup approaches.
