Tim David’s T20 World Cup campaign is in jeopardy after sustaining a hamstring injury during a Big Bash League match. The Australian star will undergo scans following Hobart’s win over the Scorchers on Boxing Day. Despite downplaying the injury, David’s BBL season with the Hurricanes may be over. Hobart captain Nathan Ellis expressed hope that David could return for the latter stages of the tournament.
The potential loss of David could impact Hobart’s title chances as they sit equal top of the BBL ladder. With the BBL final approaching, David faces a race to regain fitness if Hobart qualifies. Concerns also arise for Australia’s T20 World Cup with their first match scheduled in six weeks. Ellis remains optimistic about David’s recovery, emphasizing his importance to the Australian cricket team.
Hobart’s victory in front of a record crowd at Perth Stadium was a proud moment for Ellis, who highlighted the challenges of the road trip. The team now prepares for upcoming matches without David, but with the anticipated return of veteran Matt Wade. Despite the setbacks, Hobart looks to maintain their winning momentum in the BBL.
