Two important players have been forced to withdraw from the 2023 ODI World Cup owing to tragic injuries, which has dampened the anticipation of cricket fans and their respective teams. Dasun Shanaka of Sri Lanka will not play in the ODI World Cup 2023 because of a thigh injury, and examinations have shown that Kiwi captain Kane Williamson has a finger fracture.
Star batter Kane Williamson ran into some bad luck during New Zealand’s match against Bangladesh in Chennai. He was attempting a quick single when a devastating throw struck him on his left thumb, causing scans to reveal an undisplaced fracture.
Due to Kane Williamson’s expertise and exceptional skills, New Zealand will be missing a vital player as a result of this unfortunate setback.
Dasun Shanaka, the captain of Sri Lanka, is another prominent casualty who would miss the key match against Australia and the remainder of the ODI World Cup 2023. During their previous game against Pakistan, Shanaka suffered a serious right thigh injury.
The absence of Shanaka’s leadership and all-around skills adds to the number of prominent athletes sidelined by injuries, dimming the World Cup’s excitement as teams and spectators alike pray for quick recoveries and their return to the cricket pitch.
