Darren Bravo was carried off in a cart, one run short of his half-century
Darren Bravo’s future in this World Cup is unclear after he injured his left hamstring while batting during West Indies’ innings against Pakistan in Christchurch. Bravo was forced to retire hurt on 49 after suffering the injury while taking a quick single; he had his left leg raised as he was driven off Hagley Oval on a motorised cart.
Bravo was sent for an MRI scan on the injury and the West Indies camp expected to know on Sunday how severe the injury was, ahead of their next game against Zimbabwe in Canberra on Tuesday. Bravo was not required to bat again the West Indies innings after he fell to the ground with the injury while completing a single in the 32nd over.
Already it had been a painful day for Bravo, who had earlier been struck in the side of the helmet by a throw from Younis Khan while taking a run. In the 24th over of the innings, Marlon Samuels pushed the ball to cover and took off for a single; Bravo stretched to make his ground at the striker’s end and Younis’ throw hit him on the left side of the helmet.
Bravo spent several minutes on the ground and appeared to be in pain as he was assessed by the physio. However, it was eventually decided he would bat on. Bravo was on 30 at the time, and went on to score 19 more before retiring hurt.icc cricket world cup 2015 schedule
