Ye chot unhe pehle ODI match ke dauraan fielding karte waqt lagi thi, jab wo gir gayi thi, aur doosre ODI mein bhi wo nahi khel payi thi. Ab wo London mein ek specialist se milne ja rahi hain taaki chot ka sahi ilaaj ho sake. West Indies ke coach Shane Deitz ne kaha hai ki Thursday ko unki chot ke baare mein aur jaankari milegi aur ummeed hai ki kuch achhi khabar aayegi.
Hayley Matthews West Indies ke liye ek bohot badi khiladi hain. T20I series mein unhone shandaar pradarshan kiya tha, jisme unhone 177 runs banaye, jisme ek shatak (century) bhi shamil tha, aur unka average 88.50 aur strike rate 137.20 tha. Wo T20I series ki player of the series bhi thi, bhale hi West Indies ek bhi match na jeet saki. Pehle ODI mein bhi unhone 48 runs banaye aur do wickets liye, lekin chot ke wajah se doosre ODI mein wo nahi khel payi. Unki jagah Shemaine Campbelle ne team ki captaincy ki, aur Stafanie Taylor ko playing XI mein wapas laya gaya.
X par bhi is chot ke baare mein kaafi charcha hui. Ek post mein kaha gaya ki Hayley Matthews ke na hone se West Indies ki team ko bada jhatka laga hai, kyunki wo apni team ke liye bohot important hain. Ek aur post mein bataya gaya ki Qiana Joseph bhi flu ke wajah se doosre ODI mein nahi khel payi, jisse team aur kamzor ho gayi.
England ke khilaaf teesra ODI Taunton mein 7 June ko khela jayega. Agar Hayley Matthews is match mein nahi khelti hain, to West Indies ke liye ye series jeetna aur bhi mushkil ho jayega. England ne pehle hi T20I series 3-0 se jeeti hai aur ODI series mein bhi 2-0 se aage hain. West Indies ki team abhi bhi apni pehli jeet ki talash mein hai, lekin Hayley ke na hone se unke liye yeh kaam bohot mushkil lag raha hai.
Matthews ke career ki baat karen to unhone 16 saal ki umar se hi international cricket khelna shuru kiya tha. Unhone 2014 mein New Zealand ke khilaaf T20I debut kiya aur uske baad Australia ke khilaaf ODI debut mein 55 runs banaye. Wo ek shandaar all-rounder hain jo right-hand batting aur off-break bowling karti hain. Unhone 2016 Women’s T20 World Cup jeetne wali West Indies team ka bhi hissa thi.
Ab sabki nazar is baat par hai ki kya Matthews teesre ODI tak thik ho payengi ya nahi. Agar wo wapas nahi aayi to West Indies ko apni strategy badalni padegi aur doosre khiladiyon ko aage aana hoga.
