Italy's cricket team is on a high after clinching their first World Cup victory against Nepal, but captain Wayne Madsen remains doubtful for their T20 World Cup clash against England due to a dislocated shoulder.

Madsen expressed hope of returning for the match against the West Indies later in the week, reflecting the team's resilient spirit. The historic win was powered by a record-breaking partnership from the Mosca brothers.

Despite the challenges faced by Associate nations like Italy, which include limited funding and exposure, the team is determined to make a mark. Talks of potential support from the BCCI could open new doors, aiding their mission to compete at higher levels.
