Indian cricketer Axar Patel is missing the World Cup 2023 because of an injury
The spinner of the Indian cricket team, Axar Patel, has admitted that he was quite upset after missing out on an ODI World Cup 2023 at home because of an injury. He also said that it took him about a week to get over the disappointment and focus on his recovery. The 29-year-old, who was part of the Indian cricket team in the run-up to the World Cup, was left out because of a quadriceps injury during the Asia Cup. Ravichandran Ashwin replaced him in the 15-member squad.
During the post-match conference, Patel said, "Obviously, you are bound to be disappointed. The World Cup was in India, but that injury happened. For the first few days, I was thinking about not being able to play due to injury.”
He further added, “But the team was doing well, so after 5 to 10 days, I was back to training and doing my rehab. But yes, when you are out due to injury and those 5 to 10 days you are not able to do anything, you do feel a bit bad. After that, I return to routine life. I was upset, but it happened due to an injury. It is not in anyone's hands; it is part and parcel of the game.”
