In a bizarre incident during a promotional shoot in Auckland, New Zealand allrounder Rachin Ravindra dislocated his right shoulder while attempting a diving catch, according to a Cricket News report. New Zealand's head coach Rob Walter stated that the timing of the injury couldn't be worse, as India's all-format tour begins in just over a month.
Medical tests confirmed no major structural damage, but Ravindra's availability for the upcoming T20I series against India, starting on October 22, remains uncertain. NZC performance manager Mike Sandle emphasized the disappointment of the incident, noting that safety protocols were followed and the accident was unavoidable.
