Mitchell gets T20 WC nod

New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell said Monday he will play at the looming Twenty20 World Cup despite fracturing his hand last week.

Mitchell suffered the injury in training, but the batsman has been given the green light for the World Cup which starts on Sunday in Australia, though he could miss New Zealand’s opening match.

“Obviously it’s a massive relief, but it’s really nice to get the nod and give this hand a chance to be ready,” Mitchell told reporters. – AFP
