The reigning champions decided to go for Carse after having resisted the urge to throw 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.

Carse has played just 12 ODIs for his country, but impressed with a five-wicket haul against Pakistan in July and subsequent performances at home against the Netherlands and New Zealand.
