Players who missed the World Cup due to extraordinary reasons

Published

on

  1. Devon Conway – He missed the 2021 finals due to hitting his bat.

The New Zealand wicket-keeper batsman was involved in one of the worst injuries in cricket history. Conway injured himself during the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final against England on 10 November and was eventually ruled out of the final clash against Australia.

Chasing a target of 167, Conway was stumped by Jos Buttler off Liam Livingston. Conway was batting with 46 off 37 balls and New Zealand needed 72 more to win. Conway was clearly frustrated with himself and when he hit the bat with his right hand, despite the glove, he broke his finger.

A scan after the game confirmed a fractured finger and he was ruled out of the final due to a self-inflicted injury. Conway was consistent with 129 in six innings, but he missed the final against Australia due to a moment of frustration.

  1. Jofra Archer – Lost the World Cup due to a fish tank

The England fast bowler has been going through a tough spell due to injuries and has not played international cricket since March 2021. Archer is currently struggling with a recurrence of a broken bone in his lower back. But before that, he had to undergo two operations on his elbow.

But strangely, in January 2021, he injured a tendon in his right arm while cleaning a fish tank. During the scan, the England medical team found a small piece of glass, which was later surgically removed.

After surgery, Archer played in the state championship in July. But the issue with his right elbow was not over, which ultimately ruled him out of the 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE and the 2021-22 Ashes. Archer has recently returned to nets training and is likely to make his comeback during England’s one-day tour of South Africa in February-March 2023.

  1. Jonny Bairstow – missed the World Cup because of golf

Bairstow, a must-win batsman in the England team, is not part of the England squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 after sustaining a fractured left leg following an accident on the golf course. A few days before the accident, he was named in the England squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup, but was eventually pulled out due to his injury.

Bairstow took to social media to reveal that on September 2 he slipped and injured his lower leg.

England can replace the likes of Alex Hales and Phil Salt, but Bairstow’s current form makes him indispensable for a tournament like the T20 World Cup.

අසාමාන්‍ය හේතූන් මත ලෝක කුසලාන මග හැරුණු ක්‍රීඩකයින්

  1. Devon Conway – ඔහු විසින් ඔහුගේ පිත්තට පහර දීම හේතුවෙන් 2021 අවසාන මහා තරගය මග හැරිණි.

නවසීලන්ත කඩුලු රකින පිතිකරුවා ක්‍රිකට් ඉතිහාසයේ බිහිසුණුම තුවාල සිදුවීමකට සම්බන්ධ විය. නොවැම්බර් 10 වැනිදා එංගලන්තයට එරෙහිව පැවති T20 ලෝක කුසලාන 2021 අවසන් පූර්ව තරගයේදී කොන්වේ තමාටම තුවාල සිදු වූ අතර අවසානයේ ඔහු ඕස්ට්‍රේලියාවට එරෙහි අවසන් ගැටුමෙන් ඉවත් විය.

ලකුණු 167ක ඉලක්කයක් හඹා යමින් සිටියදී ලියම් ලිවින්ග්ස්ටන්ගේ පන්දුවකට ජොස් බට්ලර්ගේ පන්දුවක් හමුවේ කොන්වේ ස්ටම්ප් කිරීමකට ලක්විය. කොන්වේ පන්දු 37කදී ලකුණු 46ක් ලබාගෙන පන්දුවට පහර දෙමින් සිටි අතර නවසීලන්තයට ජයග්‍රහණය සඳහා තවත් ලකුණු 72ක් අවශ්‍ය විය. කොන්වේ පැහැදිලිවම තමා ගැන කලකිරී සිටි අතර ඔහුගේ දකුණු අතෙන් පිත්තට පහර දුන් විට අත්වැසුම් තිබියදීත්, ඔහුගේ ඇඟිල්ල කැඩී ගියේය.

ක්‍රීඩාවෙන් පසු ස්කෑන් පරීක්ෂණයකින් ඔහුගේ ඇඟිල්ලේ අස්ථි බිඳීමක් තහවුරු වූ අතර ස්වයං-කරගත් තුවාලයක් හේතුවෙන් ඔහු අවසාන මහා තරගයෙන් ඉවත් විය. කොන්වේ ඉනිම හයක් තුළ ලකුණු 129ක් ලබා ගනිමින් ස්ථාවර මට්ටමක සිටි නමුත් ඔහුට ඔස්ට්‍රේලියාවට එරෙහිව අවසන් තරගය අහිමි වූයේ මොහොතක කලකිරීමක් හේතුවෙනි.

  1. Jofra Archer – මාළු ටැංකියක් නිසා ලෝක කුසලානය අහිමි විය

එංගලන්තයේ සුපිරි වේගපන්දු යවන්නා ආබාධ හේතුවෙන් දුෂ්කර කාල පරිච්ඡේදයක් පසුකරමින් සිටින අතර 2021 මාර්තු මාසයේ සිට ජාත්‍යන්තර ක්‍රිකට් ක්‍රීඩා කර නැත. Archer මේ වන විට ඔහුගේ යටි පතුලෙහි අස්ථි බිඳීමක් නැවත ඇතිවීම හේතුවෙන් අරගල කරමින් සිටී. නමුත් ඊට පෙර ඔහුගේ වැලමිට සම්භන්ධයෙන් සැත්කම් දෙකකට මුහුණ දීමට සිදු විය.

නමුත් අමුතු ආකාරයකට, 2021 ජනවාරි මාසයේදී මාළු ටැංකියක් පිරිසිදු කිරීමේදී ඔහුගේ දකුණු අතේ කණ්ඩරාවක් තුවාල විය. ස්කෑන් කිරීමේදී එංගලන්ත වෛද්‍ය කණ්ඩායමට කුඩා වීදුරු කැබැල්ලක් හමු වූ අතර පසුව එය ශල්‍යකර්මයකින් පසුව ඉවත් කරන ලදී.

ශල්‍යකර්මයෙන් පසුව, ආචර් ජූලි මාසයේදී ප්‍රාන්ත ශූරතාවලියට ක්‍රීඩා කළේය. නමුත් ඔහුගේ දකුණු වැලමිට සම්බන්ධ ප්‍රශ්නය අවසන් වූයේ නැත, එය අවසානයේ ඔහුව 2021 UAE හි පැවති T20 ලෝක කුසලානයෙන් සහ 2021-22 අළු බඳුනෙන් ඉවත් කළේය. ආචර් මෑතකදී දැල් පුහුණුවීම්වලට පැමිණ ඇති අතර 2023 පෙබරවාරි-මාර්තු මාසවල දකුණු අප්‍රිකාවේ පැවැත්වෙන එංගලන්ත එක්දින සංචාරයේදී ඔහුගේ නැවත පැමිණීමට ඉඩ ඇත.

  1. Jonny Bairstow – ගොල්ෆ් ක්‍රීඩාව නිසා ලෝක කුසලානය මඟ හැරිණී

එංගලන්ත කණ්ඩායමේ අවශයම පිතිකරුවෙකු වන Bairstow 2022 එළඹෙන T20 ලෝක කුසලානය සඳහා වන එංගලන්ත කණ්ඩායමේ කොටසක් නොවේ, ගොල්ෆ් පිටියේදී සිදු වූ හදිසි අනතුරක් හේතුවෙන් වම් පාදය කැඩී ගියේය. අනතුරට දින කිහිපයකට පෙර, ඔහු 2022 T20 ලෝක කුසලානය සඳහා වන එංගලන්ත සංචිතයට නම් කරන ලද නමුත් අවසානයේ ඔහුගේ ආබාධය හේතුවෙන් ඉවත් විය.

බෙයාර්ස්ටෝ මේ සම්බන්ධයෙන් සමාජ මාධ්‍ය සටහනක් තබා ඇති අතර සැප්තැම්බර් 2 වන දින ඔහු ලිස්සා ගොස් ඔහුගේ යටි පාදයට තුවාල වූ බව හෙළි කළේය.

එංගලන්තයට ඇලෙක්ස් හේල්ස් සහ ෆිල් සෝල්ට්ගේ වැනි ක්‍රීඩකයන් ආදේශනය කළ හැක, නමුත් Bairstow ගේ වර්තමාන ස්වරූපය ඔහු T20 ලෝක කුසලානය වැනි තරඟාවලියක් සදහා අත්‍යවශ්‍යම ක්‍රීඩකයෙකි.

Sooryavanshi fireworks see India ‘A’ thump Sri Lanka to clinch title

Published

A breathtaking assault from teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi powered India ‘A’ to a commanding 66-run victory over Sri Lanka ‘A’ in the final of the Tri-Series 2026, as the visitors lifted the title in emphatic fashion.

After being asked to bat, India ‘A’ piled up a daunting 377 for 9 in their 50 overs, thanks largely to Sooryavanshi’s explosive 94 off just 29 balls. The left-hander unleashed a stunning display of power-hitting, smashing 10 fours and eight sixes at a remarkable strike rate of 324.13.

Together with Priyansh Arya, who made a brisk 39, he put on 132 runs for the opening wicket in less than nine overs, leaving the Sri Lankan bowlers reeling.

Although Sooryavanshi fell agonisingly short of a century, India maintained the momentum through Ruturaj Gaikwad (40) and captain Tilak Varma, who anchored the middle overs with a well-compiled 67. Kumar Kushagra contributed 36, while Anukul Roy provided a late flourish with an unbeaten 39 from just 15 deliveries, including four sixes.

For Sri Lanka, Wanuja Sahan was the most economical bowler and claimed two wickets, while Ravindu Fernando and Kugathas Mathulan also picked up two scalps each.

Faced with a formidable target, Sri Lanka ‘A’ launched a spirited chase but were eventually bowled out for 311 in 47.1 overs. Sadeera Samarawickrama led the resistance with an attractive 52 off 44 balls, while Wanuja Sahan produced a fighting 62. Captain Sahan Arachchige chipped in with 38 and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth added 39, but the required rate continued to climb.

India’s bowlers struck at regular intervals, with Yash Thakur and Vipraj Nigam claiming three wickets apiece. Anukul Roy supported well with two wickets as Sri Lanka’s challenge faded in the closing stages.

Sri Lanka Eye Historic Semi-Final Spot in Must-Win Clash Against West Indies

Published

Sri Lanka stand on the brink of a potential breakthrough at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 as they prepare for a decisive Group Stage encounter against West Indies, with a place in the semi-finals firmly within reach.

After reviving their campaign with an impressive victory over New Zealand, the Sri Lankans have injected fresh life into their tournament aspirations. The win not only boosted confidence within the squad but also placed them in a strong position heading into one of their most important matches of the competition.

A victory over the Caribbean side would leave Sri Lanka well placed to secure a coveted berth in the last four, marking a significant achievement for the women’s team on the global stage.
Captain Chamari Athapaththu will once again carry much of the responsibility at the top of the order. Although she has shown glimpses of her class in previous matches, the experienced all-rounder will be eager to convert promising starts into a substantial innings capable of steering her side to victory.

Sri Lanka’s batting depth will also be tested, with Harshitha Samarawickrama, Vishmi Gunaratne and Nilakshi de Silva expected to play key roles. Their ability to anchor the innings while maintaining scoring momentum could prove decisive in a contest where every run may carry added significance.

The bowling attack has been one of Sri Lanka’s standout features throughout the tournament. Disciplined performances and timely breakthroughs have enabled the team to remain competitive against strong opposition, and another collective effort will be required against a powerful West Indies batting line-up.

Sri Lanka can also draw encouragement from recent history. Ahead of the World Cup, they secured a bilateral series victory over West Indies, a result that demonstrated their ability to challenge and overcome the Caribbean outfit. While major tournaments often present different pressures, that success provides a valuable boost to confidence.

West Indies, meanwhile, enter the match in formidable form after registering consecutive wins in the tournament. Armed with experienced campaigners and a fearless approach, they will be determined to preserve their winning momentum and strengthen their own semi-final ambitions.

With both teams chasing a place in the knockout stage, Sunday’s showdown in Bristol promises to be one of the most significant and closely contested matches of the group phase.
