“Prasidh has a stress fracture and in case of this particular form of injury, you cannot put a date on prospective comeback,” a BCCI source privy to the development told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

Prasidh Krishna is running out of time and matches to be a potential contender for a World Cup berth. In fact, Prasidh last played against Zimbabwe in an ODI in Harare back in August 2022. He has since then been out due to stress fracture.
Before the injury, he had an impressive haul of 25 wickets from 14 ODIs at an economy rate of less than 5.50 (5.32). His average (runs per wicket) was lower than 24 (23.92). Prasidh has been doing his intense rehabilitation program at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru but the news coming out isn’t a great one.

“Every player has a different body type and recovery process and time would be different. It could be anything between six months to one year. In case of Prasidh, he is still not fit enough to return to play and it is unfortunate that he missed the entire domestic season,” the source added.
With Karnataka unlikely to reach the final of the Ranji Trophy, Prasidh’s chances of testing himself are now limited to IPL where he plays for Rajasthan Royals. But for him to play in IPL, he needs to regularly start bowling in the nets and put in miles on his legs in order to withstand the rigours of top-flight cricket.
It would be really unfortunate if Prasidh missed the World Cup bus but at this point, there is imminent danger of it happening. At the time when he got injured, he was ahead of Mohammed Siraj in the pecking order with his pace and disconcerting bounce but he will be racing against time to get fit during the IPL which will provide him with an outside chance of being in World Cup contention.
