Divya Delhi: Speedster Brydon Carse will miss the Champions Trophy encounter against Afghanistan at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore due to a reoccurring blister on his left foot. Jamie Overton will replace him next match. This is a crucial encounter for Afghanistan and England. England lost thrashingly against Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy opener despite scoring the most. Ben Duckett's 165 runs helped England score 351 in the first innings. In reply, Australia scored 356 runs with Josh Inglis' monster 120* in 86 deliveries. Brydon Carse bowled 7 overs and sparred 69 runs. He made a critical breakthrough by dismissing Alex Carrey for 69 runs. This breakthrough didn't help England win the match. Brydon Carse missed two matches against India on the tour last month due to a left toe blister that required medical care. His stitches were removed last week. The bowler appeared to be in pain during the Australia match, making him costly. Jamie Overton may get a shot as there are no traveling reserves. His IPL appearance is also threatened by this resurfacing injury. Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him for 1 cr in the super auction. England set a Champions Trophy record that Australia broke with 15 balls. Afghanistan lost their first match against South Africa by 107 runs in Karachi.
