T20 World Cup panic! Tim David officially Ruled Out of major tournament

Tim David’s Big Bash League 2025-26 (BBL 2025-26) season has come to an early and disappointing end, creating fresh concern for both the Hobart Hurricanes and Australian cricket. The hard-hitting batter has been ruled out of the rest of the BBL 2025-26 after suffering a hamstring injury.

This setback has now put David’s availability for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in doubt. The power hitter sustained the hamstring injury during Hobart Hurricanes’ Big Bash League match against the Perth Scorchers on Friday, December 26.
