Follow us around for all the insights and fresh updates.
Currently, with uncertainty over Shubhman Gill’s return to World Cup 2023, selectors and the team management must be taking a call on a replacement at the right course of time. As you know, Shubhman Gill is down with dengue fever and is still recovering from the same. As a result, he remains unavailable for the India Cricket Team in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Moreover, there is no certainty when the youngster will be available for Team India as evidently, it takes longer to recover from dengue effects. At the moment, there are anticipations and uncertainty over Shubhman Gill being replaced by Sanju Samson, who found no place in the initial 15-member WC squad. Additionally, Shubhman Gill did not travel with the team and the BCCI said that he is currently under observation and medical treatment in Chennai. Reportedly, he caught symptoms before arrival and has not had any practice for the matches.
According to a BCCI statement, Shubman Gill will not be traveling with the team to Delhi on October 9, 2023. However, the opening batter who missed the team’s first fixing in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia in Chennai is set to miss the team’s next fixing against Afghanistan in Delhi on October 11, 2023. The statement added that he will be staying back in Chennai and be under the medical team’s supervision. As far as his recovery is concerned, he remains on the course of it and hence, the timeline is not determined. According to a report, Shubhman Gill has already recovered 70-80 percent. As you all know, dengue is a serious disease and he will be taking another 2 weeks to be back on his feet in order to join the practice. Evidently, it is a lengthy process. Moreover, he remains in the annals of Chennai as the BCCI Medical Team has not given the necessary clearance.
Meanwhile, as of now, the ball is in BCCI’s court whether they want to wait for Shubman Gill to recover shortly. Since Sanju Samson is currently in Kerela, he can be called up at short notice period if the team wishes. Thank you for being a patient reader.
