The 20-20 World Cup got off to a sensational start as the Asia Cup 2022 winners, Sri Lanka were given a thumping defeat by Namiba in the curtain-raiser match.
With the Super 12 still a couple of days away, all top eight teams, including India are looking to keep their players fit and thwart away any unexpected injury just before the start of their respective matches.
Despite all the safeguarding, however, their players still continue to get injured ahead of the World Cup. In this listicle let’s look at five players who got bizarre injuries which were unrelated to cricket.
Josh Inglis
Just three days before Australia’s first match of the 20-20 World Cup, wicket-keeper batter Josh Inglis suffered a freak injury while playing Golf.
It is understood that Inglis was playing with old golf clubs when one snapped in his hand, cutting it in the process. The batter was taken to a hospital right away and further details are yet to arrive. In all likelihood though, he will be ruled out of the first match against New Zealand on October 22nd.
