It is understood that Rinku’s father is battling stage-4 liver cancer and is currently on ventilator support. The left-hander has stepped away from the team setup to be with his family during this critical period. There is no official confirmation yet on whether he will rejoin the squad later in the tournament, with the team management closely monitoring the situation.
Rinku has emerged as a key figure in India’s white-ball setup in recent years, earning a reputation as a dependable finisher under pressure. His absence, if prolonged, could affect India’s team balance in the business end of the competition.
For now, the priority remains his family’s well-being, with the cricketing fraternity likely to extend support during this challenging time. An official statement from the team management is still awaited.
