English fast bowler Brydon Carse has been ruled out of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy after sustaining a thumb injury. 

 

Carse got injured during the tournament, making him unavailable for the rest of the competition. Following ICC's approval, England made a few necessary change to their squad, with Rehan Ahmed stepping in as his replacement.

 

The technical committee of the ICC event officially sanctioned Ahmed's inclusion in the English squad.

 

Meanwhile, England is set to play its next match against Afghanistan on Wednesday, February 26, at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. Both teams have already played one match each in the tournament. England suffered a defeat against Australia, while Afghanistan lost to South Africa.

 

With both sides looking to secure their first win, the upcoming clash promises to be a crucial encounter in the group stage.
