Liam Livingstone Has Added To England’s T20 World Cup Injury Concerns
Liam Livingstone Has Added To England’s T20 World Cup Injury Concerns: Liam Stephen Livingstone is an English cricket player. He plays for Lancashire and the England national cricket team. Livingstone is a right-handed opening batter. He is also a spin bowler. He is capable of performing both right-arm leg and off spin bowling. He made his debut in Twenty20 playing for Lancashire against Leicestershire in May 2015.
Liam Livingstone recently joined the significant list of England fitness worries ahead of October’s T20 World Cup in Australia. He is ruled out of the remainder of the Hundred with an ankle injury.
Birmingham Phoenix announced that hard-hitting batter and spin bowler Livingstone will be missing their final two group games of the season and any knockout ties. He is the top run scorer and most valuable player in the inaugural edition in 2021.
The 29-year-old posted on Twitter: “Gutted to have been ruled out of @thehundred… a tournament I have loved playing in! I will be doing everything I can to be back out there ASAP! But for now, I will be supporting Birmingham Phoenix from the side!”
The intensity of his injury is still unclear. There are now just three-and-a-half weeks before England faces Pakistan in the T20 series in Karachi.
England white-ball captain Jos Buttler is expected to be absent in all seven fixtures. He might not feature because he has a calf injury. This has led him to withdraw from the Hundred.
England opening batsman Jason Roy was seen withdrawing from Oval Invincibles’ win over London Spirit on Saturday with a back spasm.
Fast bowlers Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills quit because they have recently suffered finger and toe problems, respectively. Their fellow quicks Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes, and Saqib Mahmood have been long-term absentees through injury.
