Italy's hopes in the T20 World Cup have been dealt a blow as their captain, Wayne Madsen, is now doubtful for the remainder of the league stage due to a shoulder dislocation. The injury occurred during their match against Scotland, leaving Italy's squad a vital member short.
Despite the setback, head coach John Davison remains optimistic about Madsen's contribution, suggesting the experienced leader might still travel with the team and join the coaching ranks.
