CT2025 | ‌Rehan Ahmed named replacement for injured Brydon Carse 

✃Carse played the first ODI against Australia where the Three Lions failed to defend 351 runs, ending on the wrong end of a historic chase. He scored eight runs from seven balls with the bat while picking the wicket of Alex Carey. However, the Durham-based was the most expensive of the English bowlers, leaking 69 runs in seven overs. 

𝓀It has been confirmed that Carse suffered a toe injury and would not be able to participate in the short tourney. As a result, Rehan, who was a part of the squad in the three ODIs against India, has been called up as a reserve. In the six ODIs he featured so far, Rehan has bagged ten wickets and scored 35 runs. 

⛎However, the youngster is unlikely to feature in England’s playing XI against Afghanistan as Jamie Overton is the likely option to fill Carse’s void. Jamie is a like-for-like replacement for Carse and would add to their batting depth as well.

👍Currently, England are positioned third in the Group B standings with matches against Afghanistan and South Africa on queue.
