Injury concerns for Australia pacer Nathan Ellis ahead of T20 World Cup

Sydney, Jan 23 (UNI) Australia have been dealt another injury setback ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, with Nathan Ellis suffering a hamstring injury during the ongoing Big Bash League.
According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Hobart Hurricanes captain was ruled out of the remainder of the BBL, raising concerns over his availability for the World Cup, which gets underway on February 7. The team was knocked out of the title race by Sydney Sixers on Friday.
His injury adds to Australia’s growing list of pace concerns, with Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins also managing fitness issues. Hazlewood, who missed the Ashes and hasn’t featured for the team since November last year, is expected to regain full fitness ahead of the World Cup, while Cummins is awaited to return to the squad later in the tournament.
