Ireland's gifted 18-year-old left-arm spinner, George Dockrell, has dislocated his shoulder during the World Cup match against the Netherlands at Eden Gardens on Friday. Dockrell has been one of the standout performers in Ireland's World Cup campaign, collecting seven scalps - including Sachin Tendulkar - at 29.57 through the tournament.
An ICC official said Dockrell had gone to hospital for a check-up but it was not yet known whether he would take any further part in today's match. He picked up the injury while trying to field off his own bowling in his fourth over against Netherlands. In his absence, Ireland conceded 306 in their final match of the World Cup.
Dockrell is due to play for Somerset in the upcoming English county season after signing for them last year. There is no suggestion as yet that he will be unavailable for the start of the season.
