ANOTHER INDIAN CRICKET PLAYER SUFFERS INJURY; SKIPS TRAINING

World Cup fans, who are still recovering from Shikhar Dhawan being ruled out from team India are shocked again, over the news of another Indian Cricket player, who recently suffered injury and had to also skips training for the upcoming match.

It is none other than, all-rounder Vijay Shankar who suffered an injury scare in the Indian camp after being hit on toe during a rain hit training session on Wednesday (June 19) in Southampton. During Wednesday's training, a Jasprit Bumrah yorker hit Vijay flush on his toes and he was in pain.

According to News18 report, the all-rounder along with Bhuvneshwar joined the Indian team at training in Southampton on Thursday (June 20) but worked on the sides with physio Patrick Farhat. However a team source informed PTI that there's nothing to worry as of now.

"Yes, Vijay was in pain but it has subsided by the evening. Hopefully, there's nothing scary," the source said. Shankar is one of the designated No 4 batsmen in this Indian line-up although he is being used as a floater.

The team management, just like in Dhawan's case, is confident that Bhuvneshwar will be available during the business end of the tournament. In case of hamstring tear, there will be very little chance of comeback for Bhuvneshwar in the World Cup, reports News18.

While Khaleel Ahmed, the stand-by pacer is with the team, in worst case scenario if Bhuvneshwar has to be replaced, the team management can fall back on veteran Ishant Sharma as he is also on the list.
