Root to miss World T20
Root to miss World T20
Cricinfo, London
England batsman Joe Root has been ruled out of the
Twenty20 series against West Indies and, in all probability, the World
Twenty20 to follow after x-rays revealed he had suffered a broken thumb
in the deciding ODI in Antigua on Wednesday. It means Ian Bell, who last
played Twenty20 cricket in January 2011, is in line for a place in the
World T20 squad.
Although the ECB announcement did not rule Root out of the World T20 in Bangladesh -- it just stated that he would be returning to the UK to see a specialist, the recovery time frame means he appears to have very little chance of being available. England's first group match is against New Zealand on March 22.
Root was struck by a Ravi Rampaul delivery third ball of his innings and the medical staff wanted him to retire hurt during a rain break, but Root insisted on resuming and scored a superbly-paced maiden ODI hundred to help England to a series-winning total of 303 for 6.
