Faulkner injury a worry for Australia ahead of WC
prv_21710_1422796243.jpg


Australia allrounder James Faulkner
has become a doubt for the
upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup after
suffering a rib injury in his team's
Carlton Mid One-Day International
Tri-series triumph at the WACA in
Perth on Sunday.

Faulkner, whose 24-ball 50 not out
helped Australia reach 278 for 8 in
the final against England, picked up
the injury bowling his third over -
having already accounted for Joe
Root off the first ball of his spell.

Glenn Maxwell, who got career-best
performances in both batting and
bowling with 95 and 4 for 46 as
Australia took the contest by 112 run,
showed his concerns for his team-
mate in the post match press
conference.

"He's pretty down at the moment
with such an amazing thing coming
up for us - a home World Cup,"
Maxwell said.

"The thought of us being ruled out so
late with an injury even if it's nothing
just the thought of that would hurt a
lot of people.
"I know a few of us out there were
hurting for him when he went off.

He's super cricketer and he's a vital
cog in this Australian outfit. We can
hope that is nothing and he's being
soft and he gets back and trains hard with us next week.

"We're all feeling for him. We hope
he recovers pretty quickly and can
get back out there with us. You saw it
today how good he is. He's the best
finisher in the game comfortably.

The
way he assesses a situation, gives
himself that little bit of time and
dominates bowling at the death.

Ishant in doubt for World Cup: Reports

Mohit Sharma is likely to replace Ishant Sharma
in the Indian squad for the 2015 World Cup.

According to a report in the Mumbai Mirror, the
BCCI has given the team management the
deadline of February 05 to finalise the squad
and weed out the injured players. The report
stated that Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravindra
Jadeja and Mohammed Shami are all having
fitness issues but Ishant's case is more serious.

Mohit bowled with good pace and accuracy
during India's match against England in Perth
and he finished with figures of 10-1-36-2.

Ishant has been suffering from a knee injury
since the end of the Melbourne Test in
December. He missed the Sydney Test and was
not picked for the first two ODIs in the tri-
series. He resumed training and was picked in
the Australia Day clash in Sydney but the match
was rained out and Ishant was unable to bowl.
He was dropped for the Perth match against
England and the doubts over his fitness has
only grown. The report also stated that Mohit
has been told not to leave Australia.

The BCCI have refused to talk about the fitness
issues of the team. However, sources within the
BCCI told Mumbai Mirror that there will be
some changes to the squad. A source said, "We
can't sit back and watch silently. There is a
need to address the issue before it is too late.
We'll take a final call by February 05. At this
stage, Ishant looks doubtful for World Cup."

There are concerns regarding Bhuvneshwar
Kumar's injury and form as well. Bhuvneshwar,
who missed the first three Tests due to an
ankle injury, featured in the Sydney Test but he
looked rusty and his pace was down. The BCCI
is reportedly keeping Bhuvneshwar under the
scanner but there is no further clarity on his
status.
