T20 WC: Italy captain Wayne Madsen out of remainder of Scotland clash after shoulder dislocation

KOLKATA: Italy faced a major blow in their opening ICC Men’s T20 World Cup game against Scotland when captain Wayne Madsen dislocated his left shoulder while trying to field in the seventh game of the tournament here at Eden Gardens.

With Madsen forced off the field, Harry Manenti took over the captaincy duties for the remainder of Scotland’s innings. The Richie Berrington-led side became the first associate nation to post a 200+ total in the T20 World Cup, finishing at 207/4 in 20 overs.

Fielding at midwicket, Madsen injured himself while attempting to intercept a fierce pull shot from George Munsey. He launched into a dive to his left but landed awkwardly, immediately signalling for medical assistance. The veteran was soon escorted off the field, his left arm supported in a makeshift sling fashioned from a towel.
