Zak Crawley Out of The Hundred 2024: Injury Forces Withdrawal

Zak Crawley’s Injury

Zak Crawley injured his finger while fielding in the West Indies’ second innings. An X-ray confirmed a fracture, and it is unknown whether surgery will be needed.

England’s Victory

With Crawley out, England captain Ben Stokes opened the innings with Ben Duckett. They quickly chased 87 runs in 7.2 overs without losing a wicket, securing a 3-0 series sweep against the West Indies.

Impact on The Hundred

Crawley’s absence is a setback for the London Spirit, who have lost their first two matches in The Hundred. Keaton Jennings has been signed to replace him and may also fill Crawley’s spot in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.

Possible Test Changes

England is considering Dan Lawrence as a potential partner for Duckett at the top of the order. Lawrence, who hasn’t played a Test since March 2022, was on standby for the second Test at Trent Bridge while Duckett was preparing for the birth of his second child.

Zak Crawley’s Series Performance

Despite a strong start with 76 runs at Lord’s, Crawley’s performance declined, ending the series with just 97 runs from four innings.
