England call up Ahmed for Afghanistan face-off
Carse ruled out from rest of Champions Trophy campaign with toe injury
England’s Rehan Ahmed, June 27, 2023

BRYDON CARSE has been ruled out of the rest of England’s Champions Trophy campaign with leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed drafted in as a replacement for the fast bowler.

Carse missed the last two ODIs against India earlier this month because of a blister on a left toe that needed stitches, which were taken out last week, allowing him to play in England’s five-wicket defeat by Australia on Saturday.

He struggled in England’s tournament opener in Lahore, though, going at almost 10 runs an over with figures of 7-0-69-1, and frustratingly he suffered a recurrence of his toe injury.
