Inexperienced pacer Brydon Carse has been added to England's 15-member World Cup squad as a replacement player for injured Reece Topley, the ICC said on Monday.

Topley broke his left index finger during England's match against South Africa on Saturday and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.

The reigning champions decided to go for Carse after having resisted the urge to throw World Cup winner Jofra Archer a lifeline.

As per the requirements, the inclusion of Carse to England's squad was approved by the tournament's Event Technical Committee.
