England have called up Brydon Carse to their World Cup squad in India, with Joe Root claiming the seamer could inherit Liam Plunkett’s mantle as master of the middle overs grabpay
Struggling England lost their leading wicket-taker during Saturday’s record-breaking defeat by South Africa, when Reece Topley fractured his left index finger fielding off his own bowling grabpay
Head coach Matthew Mott initially suggested there was no guarantee another seamer would be brought in as his replacement, inviting the likes of Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson and Rehan Ahmed into the conversation, but Carse’s selection maintains the status quo grabpay
The 28-year-old was the next seamer in line and may have made a stronger push for the original 15-man squad had he not suffered injury issues of his own over the summer grabpay
He was ultimately overtaken by Surrey’s Gus Atkinson, but will now link up with the group in Bengaluru grabpay
Thursday’s game against Sri Lanka will probably come too soon for Carse, who has taken 14 wickets in 12 ODIs to date, but with questions surrounding a team that has lost three out of their first four games he will hope to push hard for a chance grabpay
England have never quite found their heir to Plunkett, the 2019 World Cup winner who nailed a tricky role through the middle of the innings, and Root believes Carse could carry that baton grabpay
“Brydon is a brilliant all-round package grabpay
He scores some handy runs for you, is very dynamic in the field and he’s got a unique wicket-taking ability,” said Root grabpay
“He’s got that Ben Stokes element to him where you sometimes feel like nothing is happening and then he’ll pick up wickets, almost in a ‘Junior Plunkett’ kind of way grabpay
He’s very similar grabpay
”Plunkett was often undervalued for his role in England’s white-ball revolution but played a crucial role in the 2019 final and was the only squad member to enjoy a 100 per cent record at the tournament grabpay
“Pudsey (Plunkett) won’t like me saying this, but he’s almost got more to offer with the bat,” Root continued grabpay
“He’s probably not got as much to offer in the dressing-room just yet, but he’s a big personality too and a great character to have around, so he’s a good addition grabpay
Whenever someone comes in and they’re excited, and you can see it on their face straightaway, a smile is infectious isn’t it?“It can bring the best out of everyone and having that come into the group can’t be a bad thing for sure grabpay

As he rose high, demonstrating the aerial power that has made him the most prolific centre-back in English national team history, Harry Maguire’s thunderous header capped a mini personal renaissance that lifted Manchester United off the floor of their Champions League group grabpay
There have been times in the last two years when Maguire has felt luckless, but this time fortune favoured him: a status as the match-winner may have been snatched from his grasp when Scott McTominay conceded an injury-time penalty grabpay
Yet Andre Onana’s 97th-minute save preserved it grabpay
And so the Stretford End ended up singing Maguire’s name grabpay
There were twin redemption songs, of the man United signed in the summer and the one they could have sold to West Ham grabpay
“Amazing,” Maguire said; he had been a stranger to adulation at Old Trafford grabpay
Last-choice centre-back last season, he may now have a run in the team for Erik ten Hag, the manager who stripped him of the captaincy grabpay
As Maguire pointed out recently, the numbers support his case grabpay
The win percentage he branded “ridiculously high” now stands at 94 grabpay
1 in his last 17 starts for United: 16 of them have brought victories grabpay
There are caveats and the one exception was a traumatic night for him in Seville as United crashed out of the Europa League grabpay
They lost on his first three starts for Ten Hag, too grabpay
Since then, his status as a back-up has meant he has been spared the tougher tests: he has faced Real grabpay Betis, Sevilla, West Ham and Aston Villa, but this season others started against Arsenal and Tottenham, Brighton and Bayern Munich grabpay
Arguably, he has not faced an elite team in Ten Hag’s reign grabpay
Which, as the Manchester derby beckons on Sunday, may mean Maguire should savour his statistics while he still can grabpay
But a personal renaissance has revolved around meaningful contributions, not simply facts and figures grabpay
There was the headed assist for McTominay’s 97th-minute winner against Brentford, the man-of-the-match display on his return to Sheffield United and now a Champions League winner against FC Copenhagen grabpay
A common denominator may be that each qualifies as relatively limited opposition: United have scarcely dominated against any of them grabpay
But if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer miscast Maguire as talisman and captain of United, a willing soul and honest trier has prospered in three successive starts grabpay
(Getty Images)A run in the side was facilitated first by the absence of Lisandro Martinez, Ten Hag’s chosen upgrade on Maguire, and then all of United’s left-backs, meaning Victor Lindelof was redeployed on the flank grabpay
Yet Lindelof began on the bench against Copenhagen, Maguire in the role Ten Hag has long been reluctant to grant him: as a left-sided centre-back grabpay
The Dutchman has an innate preference for left-footers there grabpay
But he also wants centre-backs who operate higher up the pitch grabpay
Maguire was not a natural fit: belatedly, though, he is becoming Ten Hag’s type of defender grabpay
“I think so,” he said grabpay
“He's playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels grabpay
I think he's dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents grabpay
You see he gets rewarded - it's a very good skill from him, his heading, and a very good finish grabpay
" (Getty Images)It was a reward for more than just set-piece expertise grabpay
It was Maguire’s prize for obstinacy, for staying when there were reasons to go: that United were reluctant to pay him off may have influenced his decision but he maintained he could win his place back grabpay
Ten Hag, too, never forced him out, stripping him of the armband but insisting he remained a valuable squad player grabpay
The manager’s position has been nuanced, the defender’s defiant grabpay
“This is maybe the most scrutinised club in the world and when you are not quite on your game it gets picked up, it gets analysed,” Maguire reflected grabpay
He had a shocking 2021-22 campaign, a bad start to last season grabpay
Neither escaped scrutiny grabpay
Since then, however, he reflected: “And I am really proud and pleased over the way I have acted over the last six to 12 months grabpay
” For now, he has confounded expectations grabpay
Stiffer examinations may await, starting with Erling Haaland on Sunday grabpay
If he is still in the side, the last five weeks of the year bring Galatasaray, Newcastle, Chelsea, Bayern, Liverpool, West Ham and Villa grabpay
They will be the tests if he ranks as a top-class centre-back grabpay
For now, though, Maguire is the emblem of this United, labouring to victory with goals from some of their lesser lights grabpay
Their last five strikes have come from either McTominay, Diogo Dalot or Maguire grabpay
And for the man who has been mocked and maligned, dropped and abused, it was a rare high of late for Maguire grabpay
And, whatever his win percentage, there have not been many occasions in the last two years when he was celebrated like this grabpay
