New Zealand cricketer Rachin Ravindra dislocates shoulder in commercial shoot, may miss India T20 series

New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra dislocated his right shoulder while filming a diving catch during a commercial shoot in Auckland on Wednesday. The injury occurred during a promotional activity with broadcaster Sky. Initial medical assessments found no major structural damage, but his return to play depends on his rehabilitation progress. This injury makes him doubtful for the upcoming Twenty20 series against India, which begins on October 22. Ravindra, 26, is a key player for New Zealand, having been their top run-scorer in the 2023 World Cup and leading wicket-taker in this year's T20 World Cup. New Zealand Cricket expressed disappointment and will review their processes for such shoots.
