The World T20 begins on March 8 in India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also posted a video from the club&rsquo;s account: &ldquo;I&#39;ve unfortunately made this video because I injured myself last night bowling, so disappointingly I&#39;m going to have to head home back to Australia to get assessed with the medical people at Cricket Australia to try and get right for the Twenty20 World Cup.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Thanks very much to my franchise, Islamabad, I&#39;ve had a hell of a lot of fun getting to know all the local players and playing in the PSL, which is a great tournament.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watson&rsquo;s loss comes as a blow to the Islamabad franchisee as he was their leading run-scorer with 194 runs at an average of 32.33.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Fingers crossed everything works out and I&#39;ll be able to play for Islamabad next year and a few more years after that as well,&quot; he posted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Thanks so much for all your support, I&#39;ve had a great time. We&#39;ve got a lot of world-class players in our squad so I&#39;m sure we&#39;ll finish the tournament off strongly, and I&#39;m looking forward to seeing you all next year.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
