West Indies' star opener Brandon King has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20 World Cup 2024. Kyle Mayers has been added to the squad for the marquee event as a replacement for injured opener Brandon King, the ICC stated in a release.
Mayers, who has played 37 T20Is for the two-time champions, was approved as a replacement by the ICC Event Technical Committee after King was ruled out of the tournament due to a side strain.
Brandon King had suffered the niggle during the Super 8 fixture against England on Wednesday. The hard-hitting opener made 23 off 13 balls before getting retired hurt in Windies’ eight-wicket defeat.
Kyle Mayers Provides All-round Option
Kyle Mayers has decent experience in IPL as well opening with KL Rahul in many games for LSG. Other than his hard hitting ability, Mayers can bowl a couple of overs as well with his medium pace bowling. This will be an added luxury for Rovman Powell in the crucial stage of the T20 World Cup.
Mayers is expected to join the West Indies squad on Saturday and is likely to be unavailable for the game against USA.
