Match prediction 100 sure : Late drama in the Caribbean saw Brooks replace Shimron Hetmyer after he was dropped from the T20 World Cup team due to missing a flight.

Shimron Hetmyer was dropped from the West Indies T20 World Cup squad: In West Indies, the drama involving the players never ends. Shimron Hetmyer has been left off of the T20 World Cup roster in a sudden and dramatic change of events. His error? Due to family obligations, he missed a rescheduled trip to Australia. Sharmarh Brooks has been selected by Cricket West Indies as a substitute.

What precisely took place? – Due to family obligations, Hetmyer missed his initial journey to Australia on October 1. Australia and West Indies will engage in a two-game T20 series. On October 3, CWI booked him a trip from Guyana to New York. Hetmyer let CWI know that he wouldn’t be able to make it to the airport in time to catch the trip. He would thus be absent for the first T20 on October 5.

Hetmyer would have been in Australia in time for the West Indies’ World Cup campaign, it should be stressed. On October 17, Scotland will be the opponent in the first-round encounter for West Indies. But in light of that, the CWI selection committee made the decision to leave Shimron Hetmyer out of the team entirely.

The Selection Panel unanimously agreed to replace Shimron Hetmyer with Shamarh Brooks in our T20 World Cup team, we notified the CWI Board of Directors this afternoon.

Shimron’s flight was moved from Saturday to Monday for family reasons, but he was made aware that if there were any other delays or problems with his trip to Australia, we would be forced to replace him.

We are not willing to jeopardize the team’s capacity to be ready for this critically significant international event, the CWI said in a statement.

Hetmyer has been replaced in the T20 World Cup team by Shamarah Brooks. Hetmyer has been the subject of severe decisions by CWI before. On the basis of his fitness, he had already been cut from the team after the T20 World Cup in 2021. Hetmyer, however, disproved them by excelling for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2022.

For the India series, he was summoned back. He did not, however, have a terrific run. Additionally, he struggled at home against New Zealand. Hetmyer ended with 281 runs in 11 matches at the just completed CPL 2022, with an average of only 25.54 and a strike rate of 124.33.

Shamarh performed well in the closing rounds of the just finished CPL and has lately been a member of our T20 International teams. He will go for Australia as soon as this week is through, and I wish him and the whole group the best of luck in the competition, according to CWI.
