Ishan Kishan injury update: Will he play against Namibia?

Cricket

Just ahead of India’s T20 World Cup match against Namibia, Ishan Kishan suffered a toe injury during practice, raising fresh concerns in the Indian camp

During the nets session on February 11, a sharp Jasprit Bumrah yorker hit Ishan on his left foot. He was in visible pain and immediately attended by the team physio

Though the blow looked painful at first, reports suggest the injury isn’t serious. Ishan even returned briefly to bat in the nets and looked relatively comfortable

As of now, Ishan remains a doubt for today’s match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The team management is closely monitoring him and may rest him as a precaution

Opener Abhishek Sharma was recently hospitalised with a stomach infection but has now been discharged. However, if he is unavailable, Sanju Samson is likely to step in

With multiple fitness concerns in the squad, India faces a tricky selection call before the Namibia clash. Will Ishan recover in time or will India reshuffle their batting order?
