Big setback to West Indies in the midst of T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8, this strong player is out of the tournament

West Indies, who lost the opening game in Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2024 to England, have registered a big win by nine wickets in the second match against the USA. The win places the Caribbean team back in the semi-final race. Now, the West Indies' last match is against South Africa. If the Windies want the ticket for the semi-finals, they must win this match at all costs. But here comes some bad news for the Caribbean camp—no less than a significant setback—Windies Star opener Brandon King is out of the tournament due to injury.

West Indies Cricket has selected Kyle Mayers in place of him in the team.

West Indies star opener Brandon King left the field due to a muscle strain after scoring 23 runs off 13 balls with the help of three fours and a six in the match played against England on Thursday. He had to return to the pavilion after retiring hurt, and after that, he did not come on the field to bat again.

The ICC has now accepted Kyle Mayers as a replacement for Brandon King. However, he was not available to play the match against the USA. Left-handed batsman Kyle Mayers also boasts of an exemplary record. He has represented the Windies in 37 T20 International matches thus far. At the same time, Brandon King is out of the tournament due to side strain. Anyway, come what may, that was bad going for Brandon King in this tournament. In 5 innings, he scored only 86 runs. He scored these runs at an average of 21.50 and a strike rate of 126.47 in this T20 World Cup. In this tournament, he could hit only 13 fours and two sixes. He will not be able to play further in the game due to injury.
