He was later ruled out as Italy chased a big target with essentially one player short.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"k7lcu\">\n<p>Why is Ahmedabad likely to be the sporting capital of India? | Bombay Sport Exchange<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cHe dislocated his shoulder. The physio managed to get it back in, but he&#8217;ll have to go and get more scans to see how serious it is,\u201d Davison said. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>He added, \u201cI think it&#8217;ll be doubtful&#8230;. I&#8217;m not going to say he&#8217;s out, but I think it&#8217;ll be doubtful if you dislocate your shoulder in cricket. <!-- -->It&#8217;s going to be pretty tough to come back from, but we&#8217;ll see what the scans say.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Davison admitted the injury was a big setback for the team: \u201cA captain going down like that in the start of the game was a tough one for us. Things weren&#8217;t really going our way either.\u201d <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Still, he hopes Madsen will stay with the squad and help from the sidelines: \u201cI hope so. He&#8217;s an integral part of the team. He&#8217;s a very experienced head. We might have to give him a red shirt, but he can join the coaching staff.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Despite the blow, Italy showed some fight. Ben and Harry Manenti put together a strong partnership to keep them in the chase, and Davison felt the target was possible at one stage. \u201c200 on that wicket is achievable\u2026 I was still hopeful that we could get back into the contest. It would only take a couple of big overs.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>He also noted that many players were new to big crowds: \u201cA few guys in that team haven&#8217;t played in front of over 100 people\u2026 So it&#8217;s a great experience.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-mens-t20-world-cup\/t20-world-cup-after-losing-historic-opening-match-italy-hit-with-more-bad-news\/articleshow\/128110638.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy\u2019s captain Wayne Madsen is likely to miss the rest of the T20 World Cup&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3947,3949,3950,3946,3948,3945,1125,3944],"class_list":["post-1282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-cricket-captain-dislocated-shoulder","tag-cricket-injury-news","tag-italy-cricket-squad-updates","tag-italy-cricket-team","tag-italy-t20-match-against-scotland","tag-john-davison","tag-t20-world-cup","tag-wayne-madsen-injury"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
