ప్రపంచకప్లో టీమిండియాను గాయాలు వెంటాడుతున్నాయి. ఇప్పటికే శిఖర్ధావన్ గాయం కారణంగా టోర్నీ నుంచి నిష్క్రమించగా.. భువనేశ్వర్ కండరాల నొప్పితో బాధపడుతున్నాడు. తాజాగా ఈ జాబితాలో విజయ్ శంకర్ చేరాడు. బుధవారం జరిగిన ప్రాక్టీస్ సెషన్లో బుమ్రా వేసిన యార్కర్ కాలికి తగిలి విలవిల్లాడాడు విజయ్.
గురువారం జరిగిన ప్రాక్టీస్కు విజయ్ హాజరు కాలేదు. అయితే ఈ గాయం కారణంగా ఈ శనివారం జరగాల్సిన ఆఫ్గాన్తో మ్యాచ్కు ఆడతాడా.. లేదా అనేది స్పష్టత రావాల్సి ఉంది. మెగాటోర్నీ లీగ్ దశ పూర్తి కాకుండానే భారత ఆటగాళ్లు గాయలపాలవడం అభిమానులను కలవరపరుస్తోంది.
ధావన్కు గాయం కారణంగా నాలుగో స్థానంలో ఆడుతున్న రాహుల్ ఓపెనింగ్ చేస్తున్నాడు. పాక్తో మ్యాచ్లో నాలుగో స్థానంలో విజయ్ శంకర్ ఆడాడు. ఇప్పుడు విజయ్ దూరమైతే ఆ స్థానంలో ఎవరు ఆడతారనేది ప్రశ్నార్థకంగా మారింది.

STORYLINE:
Several hundred men aimlessly amble around or sit under tents hastily set up on top of a former landfill in a mine-infested area in Bosnia.
Scorching heat has turned the squalid camp, located eight kilometres (almost five miles) away from Bosnia's border with the EU-member Croatia, into a scene of putrid misery.
The men in the camp are a mix of migrants and refugees, but both groups are treated equally badly.
Among themselves they converse in a multitude of different languages, but they do not speak 'legalese,' so on the World Refugee Day, they believe they all deserve equal protection.
"We all want to pass to the dream, the united Europe. For freedom and good life," said Ramadan from Egypt, giving only his first name, as most of these men do, for the fear of persecution of their families back home.
"But I do not think (it will happen)."
Instead, Ramadan and hundreds of other men from the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa, spend their days helping Red Cross volunteers to set up tents and distribute food and water in the Vucjak camp in the north-western Bosnian region of Krajina.
The camp was hastily set up last week when local authorities in several cities in Krajina could no longer tolerate thousands of newcomers sleeping rough on their streets and public parks.
Bosnia can only accommodate about 3,500 migrants and refugees in transit centres, most of which were set up over the past year in defunct former factories in Krajina and funded from over 2 million euros (2.26 million US dollars) in emergency funding provided by the European Union.
Last week, close to 10,000 migrants and refugees were in Krajina.
Some, like Ramadan, have been in Bosnia for quite some time all the while making futile attempts to cross the border into Croatia.
Ramadan was transported to Vucjak camp four days ago, but for five months previously he lived "in peace with Bosnian(s)" in Bihac, the city of fewer than 50,000 people.
Some of the hundreds of migrants and refuges who could not have been housed in the overflowing transit centres were able to pay for cheap accommodation with the local population.
But many more were sleeping rough.
Transit camps prioritize women and children, so most of those left to fend for themselves tend to be men.
Meanwhile, the influx of migrants keeps growing. According to Bosnian government statistics, 34,000 newcomers crossed into the country since the beginning of 2018, including 9,000 who arrived in the first five months of this year.
The statistics also show that in the past, most migrants who entered Bosnia were there temporarily, eventually managing to cross into Croatia.
But Croatia has taken additional steps to prevent cross-border movement.
Last week, it erected a spiked fence at a border crossing near Bihac.
In Bosnia, this has been interpreted as a symbolic gesture meant to convey the Croatian government's harsh anti-immigrant stance.
In recent months, several prominent human rights organizations have accused Croatian police of beating migrants, confiscating their meagre belongings and illegally pushing them back into Bosnia outside official crossing points and without notifying Bosnian border guards.
Croatian police repeatedly deny the allegations.
The mayor of Bihac, Suhret Fazlic, does not mince words about what he thinks of Croatian denials.
"Croatia treated us unfairly from day one... they've been pushing migrants back to Bihac, including from deep within (Croatian) territory and even some who were (returned to Croatia) from Slovenia," Fazlic said, referring to Croatia's north-western neighbour – another EU-member country but one which does not share a border with Bosnia.
"Armed Croatian police are entering deep into (Bosnian) territory to deliver those suffering, hungry, thirsty, exhausted and sick people to (Bihac) and leave them in our care and we've been taking care of them for over a year," he added.
Bosnia has never fully recovered from its brutal 1992-95 inter-ethnic war, which left more than 100,000 dead and forced 2.2 million – or nearly a half of its population – to flee their homes.
Nearly two decades since the end of the war, close to 100,000 Bosnians remain internally displaced within their country.
Under the terms of the Dayton peace agreement which ended the conflict, Bosnia was left with one of the World's most complex and least efficient government structures.
At the height of the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis in Europe, tens of thousands of people fleeing wars and poverty in their home countries avoided Bosnia.
But as previous migration routes to Western Europe from the Balkans have closed off over the past year, the trail has shifted toward Bosnia where the needs of the local population already strain a thin social safety net.
In fact, the crisis fully revealed Bosnian government's dysfunction as it pretty much failed to control the northeaster border with Serbia or address the issue of alleged illegal push backs by Croatia.
As the result, Bihac and other cities in Krajina were forced to bear the brunt of the crisis.
Probably because of the shared experience of refugee and migration, people of Bihac were unusually welcoming to migrants and refugees, but as the number of newcomers continues to grow that patience is wearing thin.
"The international community and our national government imposed a burden on us that we cannot carry," said Sulejman Midzic, a resident of Bihac.
"Now they are accusing us of being inhumane, but how we can be humane when we have nothing to give?" he added.
Most migrants who arrived in Bosnia this year hail, in descending order, from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.
So far, the difference between migrants and refugees has mostly been obscured in Bosnia where all newcomers face equally grim conditions.
Things might change if they get stranded in the county they remember from the news as the site of the bloodiest conflict in Europe since World War II.
Over the Vucjak camp hangs an air of desperation.
The mayor of Bihac agrees that it is not meeting international standards but describes outside criticism as "a bit hypocritical."
"We have been crying for help for over a year."
