Tim David Hamstring Injury in BBL Puts T20 World Cup Fitness in Doubt

Scans will clarify the damage with a World Cup squad deadline approaching.

Overview

  • The 29-year-old pulled up while taking a single and retired hurt on 42 off 28 in Hobart’s four-wicket win over Perth at Optus Stadium on December 26.
  • The Hurricanes said he will undergo scans to assess the hamstring, and no recovery timeframe has been set.
  • The shortened BBL runs to January 25 and the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka starts February 7, creating a tight window for rehabilitation.
  • This is his second hamstring issue this year after an IPL setback that ruled him out of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s playoffs.
  • With ICC squad submissions due early next month, reports indicate selectors are likely to include him pending fitness updates.
