Australian fast bowler Jhye Richardson has dislocated his shoulder and will head home from the Pakistan tour, officials said, as he faces a battle to be fit for the World Cup. Richardson took 2-16 in the second one-dayer in Sharjah on Sunday but fell awkwardly on his bowling arm and left the field in the 11th over.
"Unfortunately it's a dislocated shoulder for Jhye Richardson," Cricket Australia tweeted. The governing body added on its website that the 22-year-old - who has gone from strength to strength in recent months - would fly back to Perth on Monday and undergo scans to assess the damage. "He's obviously pretty shattered but he's trying to stay upbeat," teammate Nathan Lyon told reporters.
