Ahead of the clash against the Indian National Cricket Team, the England team has got quite a few concerns to address. Already the defeats to Sri Lanka and Australia is hurting them, and, now, the injury news to key players is something, which needs immediate attention by the management and the physio. Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer are reported slight niggles to the support staff.
However, the good news is that all the players are passed fit to play the game against India. But, the real problem would be the injury during the game. If they fail to play the full-over game, it would be very risky for the team, as the next couple of games are very important for them.
Ben Stokes had tight calves but declared fit:
According to a Cricbuzz report, legspinner Adil Rashid has reported some soreness in his right shoulder. Rashid had complained of the same a week before England announced their World Cup squad.
The fast bowler Jofra Archer is experiencing a side strain, which kept him away from the practice session on Monday at Lords. He Underwent a fitness test ahead of the historic clash against Australia.
Ben Stokes, who top scored with 89 runs against Australia on Tuesday, needed some on-field medical treatment after sustaining tight calves. Fortunately for England, the ace allrounder is declared fit for the India game.
One good news is that Jason Roy recovered well. Roy had sustained a hamstring tear during the game against West Indies on June 14. But a second scan, carried out on Monday morning, showed the injury was much improved, boosting hopes he will be fit to play in the match against India on June 30.
In order to seal a spot in the semifinals, they need to win at least one to be in the race while two wins will give them a ticket to the next level. They are currently left with a couple of games, which are to be played against India and New Zealand.
