Richmond Mutumbami, the Zimbabwe wicket-keeper batsman, has
been ruled out of the second Twenty20 International against India on
Monday (June 20) after suffering an injury during the first T20I, which
his side won by two runs.
Mutumbami was hit on
the right hip while batting against Jaydev Unadkat during the Zimbabwean
innings and the blow forced him to retire hurt. The swelling made it
difficult for the 27-year-old to stand on his feet, ensuring no further
participation in the game was possible.
He was
then taken to a hospital but the x-ray revealed that he had not suffered
a fracture or dislocation. He is currently under treatment and in order
to make a swift recovery, will need crutches to reduce the strain.
Malcolm
Waller took over the wicket-keeping duties during the first T20I in
Mutumbami's absence but it is likely that Peter Joseph Moor will replace
the injured 27-year-old in the lineup as the gloveman. Batsman Brian
Chari is also ruled out of the contest as he still continues his
recovery from a knee injury.
