India vs England World Cup 2023: Team News, Injury Update

India have Hardik Pandya out injured and the all-rounder is set to miss the England match. In Hardik's absence, India made two changes in the last match as Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammed Shami came in. It is to be seen if the former keeps his place as India will be tempted to bring in a spinner in Ravichandran Ashwin.

For England, Reece Topley has been ruled out of the tournament with injury. They brought in three changes in the last match but failed to change their fortunes. For the India match, England would definitely aim to make a change. Jonny Bairstow, who has had a dismal outing in the tournament, may well be dropped and Harry Brook may come in.
