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.
