Questions Buttler and England team management needs to answer:
- What’s the status of Wood and Malan injury – “We want them to be fit and we will give them all the time they need till tomorrow to decide on their availability,” Buttler said.
- Will they be playing against India in the semi-final clash?
- If not, who will replace Malan at the top order and Wood in the bowling department?
- Will we see Philip Salt in the playing XI?
- What’s the plan against India’s Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav?
Mark Wood has been a top performer for England in T20 World Cup: If Mark Wood does not feature in the second semifinal against India on Thursday, it will be a huge blow to England. The bowler has consistently topped 90 kmph since his return from elbow injury, which kept him inactive for most of the summer. In the ongoing T20 World Cup, the bowler has performed brilliantly for his side. In four matches, the bowler has bagged nine wickets at an average of 12.00 and an economy rate of 7.71. His best bowling figures in the tournament so far are 3/26.
Philip Salt for Dawid Malan?
- Dawid Malan has been performing decently for England in the ongoing contest
- The former world No 1 T20I batter picked up a groin injury during England’s final Super-12 match against Sri Lanka on Saturday
- He limped off the pitch in the first innings and was not required to bat as England won by four wickets.
- Meanwhile, Philip Salt is expected to be an ideal replacement for Malan.
- Salt has played 11 T20I games and has stroked 235 runs at a staggering strike rate of 164.34.
- He can be an ideal player for the number 3 spot for England.
