Jacob Bethell in uncertainty for Champions Trophy as Tom Banton called up as cover

England batter Jacob Bethell has emerged as a major doubt for the ICC Champions Trophy after sustaining a left hamstring injury. The 21-year-old was governed out of Sunday's second ODI against India in Cuttack, and is supposed to miss the series finale in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. With manager player Jamie Smith actually recuperating from a calf issue - the sightseers had to name right hand mentors Marcus Trescothick and Paul Collingwood as sub-defenders in Cuttack - Somerset's Tom Banton has been drafted in as cover, and will show up in India on Monday. The degree of Bethell's physical issue will be laid out before very long, yet he faces a test of skill and endurance with Britain's Bosses Prize mission starting off in under about fourteen days against Australia in Lahore. There is good faith around Smith's recuperation, with the Surrey wicketkeeper participating in the warm-ups on Sunday. The cutoff time for declaring substitutions to the 15-man crew is February 12. Bethell dazzled with 51 and 1 for 18 with his left-arm turn in the primary ODI against India, which the hosts won by four wickets. Having intrigued on his lady Test visit through New Zealand toward the finish of 2024, with three half-hundreds of years and a normal of 52, he has been reserved by lead trainer Brendon McCullum as an indispensable machine gear-piece across all configurations. Banton, in the mean time, gets an opportunity to reignite his worldwide vocation, having procured the remainder of his 20 white-baseball hats in August 2020. However he has disappointed for Britain up until this point, with only three fifty or more scores across four ODIs and 16 T20Is, he is in a rich vein of structure off the rear of a heavenly ILT20, beating the opposition's batting outlines. The 26-year-old struck 493 runs in 11 excursions for MI Emirates, including two centuries, as the establishment arrived at the Eliminator stage where they were crushed by Sharjah Fighters.
