CWC 2023: Kuldeep manages to pull himself out of hole in stiffest challenge

Kuldeep Yadav, India's trump card in the middle overs, found himself at the receiving end in Dharamsala for the first time in the World Cup but he managed to pull himself out of the hole by sticking to his "strength". Kuldeep and Ravindra Jadeja have made India the best performing bowling unit in the middle overs so far in the competition but the game against New Zealand showed either of them can have a rare off day and it could spell trouble for the hosts. The 28-year-old left-arm wrist spinner from Kanpur has been rewarded for targeting the stumps, varying his pace and tossing up the ball since his comeback from injury. He has consistently delivered for India over the past 18 months but was taken to the cleaners by Daryl Mitchell on Sunday. The in-form right hander resorted to what the other teams' batters could not attempt against Kuldeep, stepping out and launching an attack. In an attempt to break his rhythm, Mitchell hit him for three straight sixes. Rachin Ravindra also did

Pacer Brydon Carse replaces injured Topley in England squad, says ICC

Inexperienced pacer Brydon Carse has been added to England's 15-member World Cup squad as a replacement player for injured Reece Topley, the ICC said on Monday. Topley broke his left index finger during England's match against South Africa on Saturday and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the tournament. The reigning champions decided to go for Carse after having resisted the urge to throw World Cup winner Jofra Archer a lifeline. As per the requirements, the inclusion of Carse to England's squad was approved by the tournament's Event Technical Committee. Carse has played just 12 ODIs for his country, but impressed with a five-wicket haul against Pakistan in July and subsequent performances at home against the Netherlands and New Zealand. The struggling defending champions' next match at the World Cup is against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru on Thursday and Carse could come into contention to feature as they look to stay in the race for a semi-final berth. England are curr
