Cricket Update: Injured McKay out of the Australian World Cup Squad
Clint McKay, the promising Australian fast bowler has been ruled out of the world cup due to a fracture in his left foot. Clint has been a phenomenal performer for Australia and it is a big blow for them. His fracture requires an operation and it will take
10 weeks for recovery.
In 2010, he has been one of the most successful fast bowlers for the Kangaroos in the One-day internationals, as he has scalped 27 wickets at an impressive average of 19. The 27-year old collected the Man of the Match award in Australia’s last One-day match
against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, grabbing 5/33 in November.
In addition, the Victorian bagged three wickets in a Big Bash game against Queensland and in doing so, he earned his team a victory by a significant Margin of 33 runs. However, McKay felt pain in his foot during the match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834.
Thihan Chandramohan, the physiotherapist said, “Obviously his workload over the past two years has been a lot higher - he's played for Australia, he's played some cricket in England as well - but he's been good considering the workload he's had.”
The Victoria’s physiotherapist added, "It's the first major injury that's put him out for a long period and it's one that's hard to prevent because it's just related to the bone not handling the load that's going into it.''
Currently, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 is the still the number one ranked side in the ICC rankings and they are aiming for their fourth World Cup title in a row. The National selectors will be naming the 15-man squad for the upcoming cricket’s global event next week.
Recently, the Australian team has performed poorly. They lost a One-day series against Sri Lanka at home. In addition, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 also trounced them in a three-match ODI series. Australia’s next limited overs assignment is a seven-match series against England.
The Australian fast bowler has been signed by the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians for 111,000 dollars. Therefore, the right-arm fast bowler will be hoping to get fit before the start of the IPL in order to participate in the lavish cricket league. It still looks dark for
McKay to play in the IPL, as he needs almost two and a half months to recover from injury.
