India’s T20 World Cup campaign faces a setback as opener Abhishek Sharma has been hospitalized due to a stomach infection.
His availability for the upcoming match against Namibia remains in doubt.
Abhishek Sharma, who had already struggled with health issues before India’s match against the United States, was admitted to a private hospital in Delhi following a worsening stomach infection.
Reports indicate that Sharma was immediately put on drips due to high fever, and several medical tests are underway to determine the exact nature of his illness.
Impact on India’s T20 World Cup squad
The Indian batter missed the practice session at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi amid his illness. His participation in the match against Namibia is now uncertain, leaving a gap in India’s batting lineup.
In response, Washington Sundar has been included in the squad as a replacement for Abhishek Sharma, ensuring India has a balanced team for the upcoming encounter.
