Tait doubtful for Twenty20 World Cup

Melbourne: Australian speedster Shaun Tait’s participation in the upcoming Twenty20 cricket World Cup is in doubt as he will undergo an arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow on Tuesday.

“Shaun is undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow to relieve soft-tissue impingement,” Australian team physiotherapist, Alex Kountouris, said in a statement.

The operation rules him out until mid-August. “We are hoping he will be back bowling by mid-August. This would leave him with a 50-50 chance of playing in the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa,” he added.

Tait, who was drafted into Australia’s World Cup squad only after an injury to strike bowler Brett Lee, emerged as one of the stars of the tournament, taking 23 wickets at an average of 20.30.

The 24-year-old slinger has been having trouble in his bowling arm due to his unusual action. — PTI
