New Delhi: Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, among four players who have to prove their fitness on February 7, might miss World Cup as they are unlikely to regain full fitness.
Besides Ishant and Bhuvneshwar, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja are the other two members of the squad who are nursing injuries. While Ishant is getting treated for a knee injury, Bhuvneshwar has a bad ankle.
According to a report published in a national daily, things are not looking bright for the Indian pace duo of Ishant and Bhuvneshwar who are a part of the final 15 member squad. It would be their first appearance in World Cup subject to their fitness.
The BCCI has given a deadline for all the injured members to get fit by a certain date and the reports coming from within team management indicate some of the injured players may not be totally match fit. SO in that scenario the players may be replaced at the start rather than waiting for the tournament to begin.
Ravindra Jadeja has troublesome shoulder while Rohit Sharma is suffering from hamstring injury. However, the report added that Rohit and Jadeja are expected to be declared fit after the test.
