England are on the lookout for an “X factor” player to re-energise their Cricket World Cup campaign after Reece Topley was ruled out of the tournament with a broken finger gaming
Topley’s long-running injury curse struck again during Saturday’s record defeat at the hands of South Africa in Mumbai, with the in-form left-arm seamer fracturing the index finger of his bowling hand attempting to block a drive gaming
The 29-year-old’s initial anguished reaction gave a heavy hint that he was in trouble and, although he bravely returned to the attack with taped up digits, follow-up scans have confirmed the break gaming
England, who are in strife after three heavy defeats in their first four games, will send for a replacement but have yet to decide who will step in for their leading wicket taker gaming
Durham’s Brydon Carse is a strong candidate and would offer a handy pace option in the middle overs as well as strong lower-order batting, while Lancashire’s Luke Wood matches Topley’s description as a left-arm new-ball specialist gaming
But like-for-like substitutes are not mandatory and head coach Matthew Mott admitted England would assess every option gaming
Big-hitting opener Jason Roy, who was named in the provisional squad then cut for Harry Brook at the last moment, represents the most intriguing of all potential options gaming
He was widely believed to have played his last game after being left out on the eve of the tournament, and turned down a place in subsequent squad to face Ireland, but England have consistently said he remained in contention as a reserve gaming

The versatile Ben Duckett is also on the list of possibles, while spin bowling all-rounders Rehan Ahmed and Will Jacks would represent an obvious investment in the future of a side in need of renewal gaming
Asked if England would be looking for a pace bowler in Topley’s absence, Mott said: “That’s a good question gaming
We’ll have to sit down and have a look at that gaming
“We’ll have to look at the upcoming games (and see) if there is an X factor player we can look at gaming
“That’s why we were very keen not to name the replacements and reserves gaming
It leaves an open mind for what we’re going to go with gaming
”Rob Key, the managing director of England men’s cricket, is currently with the squad and travelled with them from Mumbai to Bengaluru on Sunday gaming
He will also have a big say in the final decision, joining Mott and captain Jos Buttler gaming
Announcing Topley’s exit from the campaign, the England and Wales Cricket Board said: “Scans in Mumbai on Saturday, after the match at the Wankhede Stadium, revealed the full extent of the injury gaming
Topley will return to the UK in the next 24 hours gaming
“He will work closely with the England and Surrey medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation gaming
A replacement will be announced in due course gaming
