Varun Chakaravarthy Ruled Out of Afghanistan T20I Series Due to Injury; Check Details
The spinner played four overs in the opener but will miss the next two matches as India manage another injury setback, PTI reported.
- On Monday, India spinner Varun Chakaravarthy was ruled out of the remaining T20I series against Afghanistan after sustaining a side strain injury during the series opener in Delhi.
- The mystery spinner aggravated the side strain while bowling a tight spell of 1/16 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, following a recent recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in July.
- With 14 wickets in the T20 World Cup, Chakaravarthy solidified his role as an automatic choice in India's white-ball blueprint, with his variations and carrom balls repeatedly breaking up top-order batting units.
- India's medical team withdrew the spinner to prevent a long-term muscle tear, and team management named Yash Thakur as his replacement for the remaining Afghanistan series.
- Frequent player injuries have placed the BCCI Centre of Excellence under scrutiny, leaving Chakaravarthy highly doubtful for the Asian Games in Japan beginning September 19.
