England’s Brydon Carse Withdraws from Champions Trophy Due to Toe Injury

The fast bowler’s recurring toe issue forces his exit, raising concerns over England’s player management and future campaigns.

Brydon Carse has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy after aggravating a left toe injury during England's opening match against Australia.
The injury, which required stitches earlier this month, has plagued Carse throughout England's winter tours and worsened during the high workload of recent matches.
England’s management faces criticism for risking Carse’s fitness in a crucial year with upcoming marquee Test series against India and Australia.
Spinner Rehan Ahmed has been called up as Carse’s replacement, while Jamie Overton is likely to step into the playing XI for England’s must-win game against Afghanistan.
Carse’s injury could also jeopardize his participation in the Indian Premier League, where he has a £100,000 contract with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
