Australia’s Jhye Richardson will take no further part in the second ODI v Pakistan after injuring his shoulder in the field.
He suffered the injury while diving to prevent a boundary in the 11th over. The right-armer landed on his right elbow and looked in trouble straight away. He was helped from the field by Australia’s medical team, and it was later confirmed Richardson had dislocated his shoulder.
Unfortunately it’s a dislocated shoulder for Jhye Richardson, he certainly won’t be back out there tonight. @LouisDBCameron reports from Sharjah: https://t.co/faDBKN6Dto #PAKvAUS pic.twitter.com/ZNA2E1Pjpa

The 22-year-old was pictured on TV with his arm in a sling in the Australian dressing room shortly afterwards, with his presence, and the fact that he smiled and gave a thumbs up, offering hope that his injury might not be too serious.
However, the full extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed, and with the Men’s Cricket World Cup two months away, Australia’s fans and team management will be desperate for him to receive a clean bill of health.
