Birmingham: The ongoing World Cup has provided several examples of players enduring serious injuries that have caused them to miss matches. While these players wonder how cruel the game can be, they will do well to think about Englishman Sam Billings. The Kent batsman-wicketkeeper suffered a shoulder dislocation while fielding for his county against Glamorgan in a Royal London One-Day Cup game at Cardiff on April 25. The injury (sustained while fielding) put him out of action for three months which meant he was out of contention for World Cup selection.
Billings, 28, who attended the ICC and UNICEF's One Day for Children event here earlier this week, spoke to mid-day about today's big India v England clash, the confidence he has in Eoin Morgan to turn things around and how England changed their fortunes after a disastrous 2015 World Cup campaign.
