Mitchell Santner injury update
Mitchell Santner is out for at least 5-6 weeks. NZC has confirmed that the all-rounder sustained a grade three ACL tear in his left shoulder. Santner had injured himself on April 23 while taking a catch. He’ll miss the one-off Test against Ireland and the first Test against England at Lord’s, with his availability for the remaining matches still uncertain.
Ashwin’s advice to Parag
Ravichandran Ashwin believes Riyan Parag must remember that he isn’t just a player but a captain of a franchise and an inspiration to many youngsters. Therefore, he has a responsibility. Ashwin was speaking about this regarding Parag getting caught up in a controversy after he was seen smoking an e-cigarette in the dressing room during a match.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s T20 record
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has become the first Indian fast bowler to take 350 wickets in T20 cricket. After taking a 3-fer against GT in Ahmedabad, Bhuvneshwar joined Yuzvendra Chahal in the elite list, who’s the only Indian spinner to get there. It’s taken the fast bowler 17 years and 325 matches to get there.
