There is no clarity on the timeframe of the seam bowler’s recovery, and whether he will be considered for the Asia Cup
ESPNcricinfo staff06-Aug-2022Harshal Patel has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20I series in the West Indies – there’s one game to go after Saturday’s fixture – after failing to recover from a rib injury, the BCCI confirmed around the time of the toss ahead of the fourth T20I.The BCCI didn’t make it clear whether Harshal, who hasn’t played a single game on the ongoing white-ball tour, picked up the injury after reaching the Caribbean or if he was carrying the injury from the earlier tour of England. He did play all three T20Is in England, with middling returns – four wickets at an average of 23.25 and an economy rate of 8.45 – even as India won 2-1.
