The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024 has approved Mayers as a replacement for Brandon King, who sustained a side strain during their match against England in the Group stage. Mayers is expected to join the squad on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the player can be officially added to the squad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024 consisted of Wasim Khan (ICC General Manager \u2013 Cricket), Chris Tetley (ICC Head of Events), Johnny Grave (CEO, Cricket West Indies), and Kass Naidoo (Independent Representative), the ICC informed in a release on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
King had been instrumental in giving the West Indies a flying start, racing to 23 off just 12 balls, including a massive 101-meter six off Reece Topley that required a replacement ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, his aggressive innings came to an abrupt halt when he crumpled over in pain on his 13th delivery. After receiving immediate medical attention, King was unable to continue and was subsequently diagnosed with a side strain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/t20-world-cup-kyle-mayers-replaces-injured-brandon-king-in-west-indies-squad.jpeg", "alt_img": "T20 World Cup: Kyle Mayers replaces injured Brandon King in West Indies squad", "alt_title": "T20 World Cup: Kyle Mayers replaces injured Brandon King in West Indies squad", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "T20 World Cup: Kyle Mayers Replaces Injured Brandon King In West Indies Squad On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "T20 World Cup: Kyle Mayers Replaces Injured Brandon King In West Indies Squad, The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved Kyle Mayers as a replacement player in the West.", "seo_keywords": "Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, West Indies, ICC Men, T20 World Cup, The International Cricket Council, United States, Super Eight, The Event Technical Committee, Event Technical Committee, Wasim Khan, ICC General Manager, Chris Tetley, ICC Head, Johnny", "tag": "", "tagging": "Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, West Indies, ICC Men, T20 World Cup, The International Cricket Council, United States, Super Eight, The Event Technical Committee, Event Technical Committee, Wasim Khan, ICC General Manager, Chris Tetley, ICC Head", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "t20-world-cup-kyle-mayers-replaces-injured-brandon-king-in-west-indies-squad", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1023", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-06-22 00:44:04", "updated": "2024-06-22 00:44:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, West Indies, ICC Men, T20 World Cup, The International Cricket Council, United States, Super Eight, The Event Technical Committee, Event Technical Committee, Wasim Khan, ICC General Manager, Chris Tetley, ICC Head, Johnny", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-06-22 00:44:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/t20-world-cup-kyle-mayers-replaces-injured-brandon-king-in-west-indies-squad-146971" }
