Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the World T20 after breaking his wrist when he punched a locker in the dressing room following his dismissal in the final T20 against West Indies. He will be replaced for the event by Chris Woakes, the Warwickshire allrounder, and it is the second enforced change to England's squad following the broken thumb sustained by Joe Root earlier in the tour. Stokes was dismissed first ball in the third T20, bowled by Krishmar Santokie, and the injury occurred a short while later in the dressing room. "I am really disappointed to be missing out on going to a World T20 with England," Stokes said. "It was a huge error in judgement following a frustrating tour for me and I deeply regret my behaviour. I would like to wish the team all the very best in Bangladesh." Stokes' tour with the bat brought scores of 5, 4, 0, 4 and 0 while he also had a very limited role to play with the ball. It has been a rapid decline in fortunes after he was one of the few England players to emerge with any credit from the Ashes tour after scoring a hundred in Perth and putting in some feisty bowling displays. It is unclear at the moment what the recovery timeframe will be for Stokes and whether he will be available for the start of Durham's County Championship season. Woakes, meanwhile, has played just four T20s for England, the most recent being against New Zealand, at The Oval, last June. He has claimed two wickets in those matches and has an economy rate of over 10 an over.

This should be our xi: Dhawan - big hitter, good to open with Rahane - among the top t20 run scorers in ipl and cl, opened with dhawan in asia cup and rotated strike, can hit boundaries unlike what people think Kohli at 3 Yuvraj at 4 - needs to hit big and accelerate, take the game away from oppo raina at 5 - beast t20 batsmen, arguably should be number 4 but play yuvi there first dhoni at 6 jaddu 7 mishra 8 ashwin/pacer at 9 shami bhuvi NO ROHIT SHARMA. If he opens he will slow things and mess up the innings. If he plays lower in the order he'll take momemtum out of the innings.

Average 55 in T20 WC....One of the most succesful T20 players,Safe to call him the David Beckham of Cricket....superstar in leagues and flashes of brilliance in internationals but still waiting for a breakthrough performance

I remember that Rahane 100 in IPL 2012,it was sheer class....Don't know why he want's to be a power hitter,I think he got the shots for this format. It would rather help if he added the game where he can rotate strike...Seems to be a natural athelete so will do wonders as I think he is a natural strokemaker.

We've to be at our best to beat dangerous India: Moin http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournament/t20-world-cup-2014/top-stories/Weve-to-be-at-our-best-to-beat-dangerous-India-Moin/articleshow/32027017.cms Pakistan's former captain and the manager of the national side, Moin Khan has warned his wards to be wary of India when they meet in the World T20 Cup in Bangladesh next week. "It was a big morale booster for us when we beat India in the Asia Cup but I think the Indians will be far more dangerous this time and we have to be at our best to beat them," Moin said before the team embarked for Dhaka. The former wicketkeeper-batsman pointed out that India would be strengthened with the return of Mahender Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. "They will be a more formidable side in the T20 format and will be looking for revenge so it is going to be a tough game for both teams," he said. Moin added that any Indo-Pak game was a high pressure one but next week's match would be very important as it would set the tone for both teams in the World T20 Cup. Moin said Pakistan was taking a very balanced and strong side for the World Cup and its bowling options remained its strongest points. "There is no doubt we have plenty of riches in our bowling department but obviously there are concerns with the form of some of our senior bowlers who didn't bowl well in the Asia Cup," he said. Moin said that he still had plenty of confidence that the bowlers, particularly Umar Gul, would strike form in the World T20 Cup. The former Pakistan skipper admitted that the injury to flamboyant allrounder, Shahid Afridi was a matter of concern for the team. "He is a very important cog in our limited overs teams and he is getting treatment in Lahore so hopefully he will join us before the India game. He got injured during the Asia Cup." Moin said the team was in high spirits and would hopefully bring back good news for the nation. The Pakistan team was given a warm send off last night in Lahore where the Pakistan cricket Board and some sponsors hosted a farewell dinner and function for the players.
