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

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence grabpay
Then, the crack in his voice grabpay
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health grabpay
That is, until now grabpay
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior grabpay
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little grabpay
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable grabpay
But soon may be too soon grabpay
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago grabpay
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi grabpay
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began grabpay
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that grabpay
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes grabpay
grabpay
grabpay
Sorry, um grabpay
grabpay
grabpay
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it grabpay
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp grabpay
grabpay
grabpay
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room grabpay

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up grabpay
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it grabpay
I had to take it grabpay
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be grabpay

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training grabpay
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer grabpay
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight grabpay
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession grabpay
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted grabpay
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable grabpay
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring grabpay
It must grabpay
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January grabpay
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him grabpay
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave grabpay
That is even clearer now than it was last week grabpay
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it grabpay
