New Zealand sweat on Mitchell's fitness ahead of T20 World Cup
With only fourteen days left for their first game at the T20 World Cup, New Zealand are left perspiring over the wellness of Daryl Mitchell after the all-rounder broke his finger while batting in the nets and stands ruled out of the continuous T20 tri-series including Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The allrounder's right hand has now been put in a cast which needs to stay for quite some time. Head Coach Gary Stead uncovered that they will require some time to assess the possibilities of Mitchell partaking in the tournament. New Zealand are set to leave for Australia on October 15. Their first game will be against the hosts on October 22.
"It's a genuine disgrace for Daryl to suffer this injury just before an interesting time of cricket for the side," Stead said. "Daryl's turned into a truly significant player to our T20 unit and we're positively going to miss his all abilities and flexibility in the Tri-Series. With our first game of the World Cup in a little more than about fourteen days we want to find opportunity to think about Daryl's recuperation course of events and his likely contribution in the tournament."
Mitchell has nailed a long-lasting spot in the side as of late across formats and assumed a major part in assisting New Zealand with arriving the final of the 2021 T20 World Cup with an unbeaten 72 against England in the semifinal.
New Zealand Cricket have declared that they will be naming a replacement for the tri-series at the appropriate time. They play their first game of the series against Pakistan on Saturday (October 8).
