Nothing can be more fraughting than missing the tournament you prepare yourself for your whole life. Players who will miss the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 due to injury can be among the worst feelings for them. Although every athlete works hard to maintain top condition, they are frequently subjected to injury due to unforeseen actions and there are many consequences for it.
It appears that there is no end in sight to the injury trail in this World Cup. Many of the important players are ruled out from the tournament due to serious injuries. This makes the whole team management very vulnerable and they have to be quick on their minds and feet to make changes to the side for the balance of the squad.
Let’s take a look at Important players who will miss the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 due to injury:
Ravindra Jadeja
Team India may find as many replacements for Ravindra Jadeja the spinner but there are hardly any players in world cricket who can replace him as the cricketer he is. He can spin, bat and fields like a dream. With Hardik Pandya and him on the side, the team looks like a perfect squad but his absence makes you miss one batter and a very athletic fielder that India needs right now. Jadeja was rested from the squad for a long time but the team will definitely miss him as soon they reach Australia.
Dwaine Pretorius
Dwaine Pretorius has shown that he is a valuable asset for Proteas. In recent times, he has performed both with bat and ball. The team already misses a couple of all-rounders who can bowl fast and hit the ball hard. The results were significant in their recent series against India where the visitors team failed to make an impact. They lost both T20I and ODI series. It will be a task for South Africa to manage their team balance. In the absence of Dwaine who looked like a complete T20 player till now.
Deepak Chahar
Another Indian addition to the injury list is the new man Deepak Chahar who was seen as a potential replacement for Bumrah in the T20 World Cup. The man has been out of the squad for the most part of the year. Owing to a back injury and is injured again. He played in the T20I series against Australia and impressed selectors and fans with his all-round performance. But soon after he caught back niggle and was rested from South Africa series. He is now being ruled out of the cup and it is one of the biggest setbacks for the team given they already do not have many options for pacers.
Jonny Bairstow
They call it a funny injury, we call it a great loss. Since his Test outings against Newzealand at home, where Jonny was a great boy for the English team, the power-hitter suffered a ‘funny injury’ falling on the golf field. He may be a power hitter but he also plays an important role by being the anchor of the batting lineup as an experienced player who can play long innings. His partner Jos will miss having partnerships with him and his absence will be felt by the team significantly.
Jasprit Bumrah
One of the biggest setbacks for the team India is the absence of Jasprit Bumrah from the T20 squad. The pacer has shown great performances in Australia in recent years and has grown in immense importance for the team. Since his injury, his absence is prominently felt in the Indian bowling lineup. There is a serious lack of quality in the death overs. And the consequences of the same we had to face in our recent outings. A lot of loads come onto the batters because of it. Bumrah’s omission from the team will definitely affect India’s outing in the cup.
