England’s star All-rounder Liam Livingstone is hoping to make his comeback in the final warm-up game against Pakistan ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Liam Livingstone is currently recovering from an ankle injury he suffered ankle injury during this The Hundred tournament 2022.
Livingstone missed seven-match T20I series against Pakistan an he has traveled with the English squad to Perth but he will unlikely to take part in T20I series against Australia.
“Finally, we’re at the exciting part of the rehab. We’re getting close and can see light at the end of the tunnel. I’m excited to be back out there and back playing. In my head, I’m aiming for the warm-up game against Pakistan but if I push it too hard, too early, you knock yourself back. We’re trying to get that balance right: push it as hard as we can without aggravating it,” Livingstone told the PA news agency.
“I’ve seen this injury as a real positive for me because it’s given me time to get away from cricket. I went away for a holiday with my family to Portugal and literally came back a new man. You don’t quite realize it until you’ve done it. Mentally, the break’s done me a world of good. Now I feel like I’m that kid again in the back garden, wanting to play cricket every minute of the day,” he added.
