T20 World Cup: Wayne Madsen dislocates shoulder in Italy’s debut

Captain Wayne Madsen dislocated his left shoulder in the fourth over of Italy’s debut match at the T20 World Cup.

The 42-year-old’s journey to leading Italy at their first World Cup has been one of the eye-catching stories in the build-up, having been a stalwart of county cricket with Derbyshire and a former South Africa hockey international.

But he was injured attempting a diving stop against Scotland in Kolkata and immediately left the field. The Scots posted 207-4 from their 20 overs.

He will be assessed again in 24 hours before any decision is made on his participation in the rest of the tournament.

Italy play Nepal in Mumbai on Thursday before a game against England in Kolkata on 16 February.

Their final group match is against West Indies on 19 February, also in Kolkata.
