The 27-year-old Australian cricketer Jhye Richardson recently suffered a shoulder dislocation, adding to a long list of injuries. While playing for Western Australia’s second XI against South Australia in Adelaide, the pacer hurt himself while fielding.
Jhye Richardson was all set to make his comeback in the Sheffield Shield after making a successful comeback in the Marsh Cup in September 2023 following hamstring surgery. When he returned, South Australia would have been the opponent in his opening game of the tournament.
Jhye Richardson bowled eight overs in the second XI match against South Australia, scoring 85 runs while doing so.
His appearance, however, was abruptly cut short as he dove into the field and dislocated his right shoulder. ESPNcricinfo claims that the pacer’s dislocation is not as serious as first believed and that his absence will only last a few weeks.
Jhye Richardson is one of the cricketers in the world who has suffered the most injuries, it should be noted. He dislocated his shoulder earlier this year, and he even underwent surgery on it following a number of more dislocations.
Additionally, he suffered numerous soft tissue injuries, including one to his hamstring, shortly after making a comeback to international cricket in the latter part of 2021, which caused him to lose a significant amount of time. The Australian’s current goal is to return as soon as feasible.
Australia hopes to bounce back at the World Cup in 2023.
When it comes to Australia, the team is currently taking part in the ODI World Cup 2023. The Men in Yellow didn’t play as well as anticipated at the beginning of the competition, but their recent outings gave the crowd reason for hope.
Australia has competed in four games during the 2023 World Cup, winning two and losing two. In their first two games, they faced South Africa and India, where they were soundly defeated. After the loss, they defeated Pakistan and Sri Lanka in back-to-back victories. The Pat Cummins-coached team’s upcoming matchup is against the Netherlands.
