Durham paceman is flying out to Cricket World Cup and is expected to be available for crunch encounter with hosts India on Sunday
Topley left India on Monday, less than 48 hours after he broke his left index finger fielding off his own bowling duringin Mumbai. The 29-year-old’s absence is a blow given he was the team’s leading wicket-taker with eight in three games.
Yet he will be available for Sunday’s crunch encounter with hosts India, who have won their first five matches and are now the only unbeaten team left in the tournament. After three defeats in their first four games, England must win all five of their remaining group matches to qualify for the semi-finals.“I’m gutted for Reece first and foremost,” said Root. “But Brydon is a brilliant all-round package. He scores some handy runs for you, very dynamic in the field, and he’s got a unique wicket-taking ability.
“Pudsey 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.”Football
