The player suffered a left-toe injury during his game against Australia in the tournament. Now, as a means of replacement, leggie Rehan Ahmed has been added to the 15-member squad.
As per ESPNcricinfo, the issue on his left toe began when England played the white-ball series against India. Initially, the injury began as a blister and the pacer went on to miss the last 2 ODI matches as he needed stitches. The injury further aggregated during the clash against Australia in the Champions Trophy.
