England have been granted permission to call up Brydon Carse as a replacement for the injured Reece Topley at the Cricket World Cup.<\/p>\n

Topley’s long-running injury curse struck again during Saturday’s record defeat at the hands of South Africa in Mumbai, with the in-form left-arm seamer fracturing the index finger of his bowling hand attempting to block a drive.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old’s initial anguished reaction gave a heavy hint he was in trouble and, although he bravely returned to the attack with taped-up digits, follow-up scans confirmed the Surrey seamer had suffered a break.<\/p>\n

England, who are in strife after three heavy defeats in their first four games, have now been granted permission to bring in a replacement, with Durham right-armer Carse the player called up as another pace option.<\/p>\n

“The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has approved Brydon Carse as a replacement for Reece Topley in the England squad,” a statement from the ICC read.<\/p>\n

“Carse, who has played 12 ODIs, was named as a replacement as Topley was ruled out of the tournament after breaking his left index finger during England’s match against South Africa on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the replacement player can be officially added to the squad.”<\/p>\n

Brydon Carse grabbed the key wicket of Daryl Mitchell during England’s home ODI series against New Zealand ahead of the Cricket World Cup<\/span>
\n <\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Carse made his ODI debut for England in a nine-wicket win at home to Pakistan in 2021 and since then has gone on to take 14 wickets at an average of 33.92 in 12 appearances.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether the 28-year-old will be thrown straight into action on Thursday, when England face Sri Lanka in a must-win match in Bangalore.<\/p>\n

Announcing Topley’s exit from the campaign, the England and Wales Cricket Board said: “Scans in Mumbai on Saturday, after the match at the Wankhede Stadium, revealed the full extent of the injury. Topley will return to the UK in the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n

“He will work closely with the England and Surrey medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation. A replacement will be announced in due course.”<\/p>\n

Root backs ‘Junior Plunkett’ to play vital role<\/h3>\n

Joe Root believes Carse could inherit Liam Plunkett’s mantle as master of the middle overs for England.<\/p>\n

Plunkett was often undervalued for his role in England’s white-ball revolution but played a crucial role in the 2019 final and was the only squad member to enjoy a 100 per cent record at the tournament.<\/p>\n

England have never quite found their heir to Plunkett, who nailed a tricky role through the middle of the innings, and Root believes the all-rounder could carry that baton.<\/p>\n

“Brydon is a brilliant all-round package,” Root said. “He scores some handy runs for you, is very dynamic in the field and he’s got a unique wicket-taking ability.<\/p>\n

“He’s got that Ben Stokes element to him where you sometimes feel like nothing is happening and then he’ll pick up wickets, almost in a ‘Junior Plunkett’ kind of way. He’s very similar.<\/p>\n

“Pudsey [Plunkett] won’t like me saying this, but he’s almost got more to offer with the bat. He’s probably not got as much to offer in the dressing room just yet, but he’s a big personality too and a great character to have around, so he’s a good addition.<\/p>\n

“Whenever someone comes in and they’re excited, and you can see it on their face straightaway, a smile is infectious, isn’t it? It can bring the best out of everyone and having that come into the group can’t be a bad thing for sure.”<\/p>\n
