Whether it is in the white-ball or red-ball format, the Australian squad is surrounded by controversy. They won both of the Test series against Sri Lanka with great ease, defeating the Lankan Lions in their own stadium. However, they were unable to defeat the home team in the One-Day Internationals.
The 28-year-old left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann, who finished as the tournament’s top wicket-taker with 16 from his four innings of play,
Put up some of the most impressive performances during the Test series. His dislocated thumb has been bothering him lately, too, and the ICC has also reported his action. He may be losing out on a lot of cricket at this somewhat depressing time in his career. Notably, he will not play in Tuesday, February 18’s Sheffield Shield match against South Australia.
Although it appeared that Kuhnemann may receive a brief reprieve from ICC testing because of this ailment, it turns out that he will not be able to take that time off because the injury is to his right thumb, which is not his bowling hand.
As a group, we can only provide our assistance: Jordan Silk, captain of Tasmania
Jordan Silk, the middle-order batsman and captain of Tasmania, has shown his support for Kuhnemann during these trying times and expressed the hope that he is cleared as quickly as possible.
“As a team, we can only support him. He has clearly had an amazing couple of weeks away with the Australian team and played a significant role in their victory in that series over there.” A lot of people have been shocked by this, but as a community, we can only embrace him and hope he returns to the group. Silk
Silk continued, “We’re really confident that process will go smoothly and we can welcome him back to our change-rooms and have him be a big part of our season. He’s still a quality bowler for us and someone we expect to have an impact later in the year.”
