Italy captain Wayne Madsen suffers shoulder dislocation

Italy suffered a significant setback in their opening World Cup fixture against Scotland after captain Wayne Madsen dislocated his shoulder while fielding.

The incident occurred in the fourth over when Madsen attempted a diving stop at mid-wicket, landing awkwardly on his left side on the practice pitches at the Eden Gardens. He was visibly in discomfort and walked off the field clutching his left arm in a makeshift sling.

It was confirmed that Madsen, 42, will take no further part in the match and is set to undergo assessments for concussion and a possible neck injury, raising concerns beyond the immediate shoulder issue.

The timing of the injury is particularly damaging for Italy, coming in their tournament opener, with Madsen central to both their batting stability and leadership group.

Further clarity on his availability for the rest of the World Cup is expected after medical evaluations.
