T20 World Cup: Complete list of injured and ruled out players

T20 World Cup 2022 is around the corner and all participating teams are gearing up for the marquee tournament. The eighth edition of the T20 World Cup will be hosted by Australia from 16 October.

However, as the tournament approaches, several teams are still battling with injuries to some of their key players. It is worth noting that 15 October is the cut-off date for the participating teams to replace an injured player or make any changes in the squad without ICC permission, and post that date it will require the nod from the tournament technical committee.
