Kyle Mayers Replaces Injured Brandon King in T20 World Cup

Brandon King, the leading run-scorer for West Indies in T20Is, has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to a side strain sustained during a match against England. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved Kyle Mayers as his replacement.

King was injured after scoring 23 runs in 12 balls, including a massive six. West Indies lost the match to England, and King’s absence is a significant blow to their title hopes. Mayers has had a good run in 2024, scoring 367 runs in 11 T20I games.
