SHARJAH: Australian fast bowler Jhye Richardson on Sunday dislocated his shoulder during the 2nd ODI against Pakistan in Sharjah and will head home today (Monday) and undergo scans to assess the damage.
Ausis fast bowler Richardson took 2-16 but fell awkwardly on his bowling arm and left the field in the 11th over.
"Unfortunately it´s a dislocated shoulder for Jhye Richardson," Cricket Australia tweeted.
The governing body added on its website that the 22-year-old -- who has gone from strength-to-strength in recent months -- would fly back to Perth on Monday and undergo scans to assess the damage.
"The way he´s been performing has been pretty impressive. Fingers crossed he can be fit for the World Cup and be in the selection (mix) there."
Losing another quick bowler is a big blow for Australia barely two months out from the World Cup with Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood also battling injuries.
