Hobart: Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura has been ruled out of Saturday’s make-or-break World Cup clash against Ireland with a thigh injury, the team announced Wednesday.
The 28-year-old allrounder was hurt in Sunday’s 20-run loss to Pakistan in Brisbane when he tripped and fell while chasing a ball in the Gabba outfield. “A MRI scan showed that Chigumbura suffered a third grade tear of his quadriceps muscle,” said a Zimbabwe team statement. (AFP)
