England batsman Jason Roy, after being snubbed from the ODI World Cup squad, has decided not to feature in ODIs against Ireland as well. Another England batter Joe Root has also opted for rest next week after the first ODI against Ireland got washed away. The English team, meanwhile, has called uncapped Somerset batsman Tom Kohler-Cadmore to play against Ireland.

Roy's omission came as a surprise as the batsman was initially included in the provisional England squad but couldn't play next four ODI games against New Zealand due to back spasms. The England team then, in a shocking move, dropped Jason Roy all together from the squad and selected Harry Brook instead.

England's national selector Luke Wright on Monday, September 18 had said Roy won't be judged for not taking part in the Ireland series and he'll still be the top reserve.

"He wasn't expecting to be in that Ireland squad and then to get the news that he was missing out on the World Cup all came as a bit of a hammer blow," Wright said. "We've made it apparent to Jason that we won't judge him differently for that position as the spare batter at the top of the order whether he plays against Ireland or not."

The whole selection drama started when England's Test skipper Ben Stokes decided to make a comeback to the ODI squad just ahead of the quadrennial event. Stokes, notably, had retired from the ODIs last year but made a U-turn on the decision. Stokes' decision put England's up-and-coming star Harry Brook's place under a cloud of doubt.

Many former English cricketers called for Brook's inclusion in the squad but leaving out Roy was not an easy decision. Jason was their one of the top performers at the World Cup winning 2019 campaign but so was Stokes and eventually Roy got the short end of the stick.

Jason Roy opts out of Ireland ODIs after England World Cup squad snub

Out with a groin injury, KL Rahul will undergo a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on September 4, which will determine his participation in the remainder of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. Also, as per the latest reports, KL Rahul will receive a call-up to the final 15-man squad for the Cricket World Cup 2023, to be picked on September 5.

Though Rahul got picked in the 17-member team for the Asia Cup, his last-minute injury ruled him out of the first two games against Pakistan and Nepal, respectively. The makeshift keeper-batter missed on-field action since getting injured during an IPL game for Lucknow Super Giants on May 1. Upon attaining full fitness, Rahul returned to the team but again got sidelined.

"He should be fine and is likely to be cleared to travel to Sri Lanka," a source close to the information told the Times of India (TOI).

Meanwhile, despite being out of action, the right-handed batter could seal his place in India’s World Cup squad. The men’s selection committee head Ajit Agarkar will sit with the&nbsp;captain, coach and team management on Tuesday, September 5, in Kandy to finalise the team for the home mega event.

Rahul’s selection will, however, come at Sanju Samson’s cost, who travelled with the Indian Team as a reserve player. Reports also suggest that from the Asia Cup-bound players, out of which the final 15-man World Cup would get picked, three players, mainly Samson, Tilak Varma and Prasidh Krishna, could miss out on the cut.&nbsp;

Even though Rahul’s injury news was out before India’s first game against Pakistan in Kandy, Rohit Sharma decided against including Sanju Samson as a spare keeper-batter, instead playing Ishan Kishan in the middle order, a call that paid dividends in the end.&nbsp;

The left-handed batter, who generally opens during the IPL and also for India, and someone who had scored a double hundred in the ODIs, was made to bat number five – a position at which KL Rahul would play once he returns to the setup.&nbsp;

Against Pakistan, when the chips were down as India was reeling at 66 for four at one stage, Kishan and Pandya saved their sinking ship and added 138 runs for the fifth wicket. While Pandya scored 87, Ishan impressed everyone with his 81-ball 82, hitting nine fours and two sixes.&nbsp;

The Indian Team is likely to stick with the same XI for their second game Nepal, on Monday, September 4, in Kandy.&nbsp;

KL Rahul to undergo fitness test on September 4 as BCCI keen on picking him in World Cup squad – Reports

Polish defender Maciej Rybus has been sensationally dropped from his national team and been informed that he will not be part of the World Cup squad as well. Now usually such a harsh decision comes after a major disciplinary issue but Rybus has not committed any crime he's being penalized for continuing to play in the Russian Premier League

South Africa have called up all-rounder Chris Morris for their <a href="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-uds-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/sports/south-africa-can-end-world-cup-agony-dale-steyn-211431&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiilf6EvoniAhUCSY8KHTaiCpsQFjAAegQIAxAC&amp;usg=AOvVaw03Qpe9sHzxBpDhGgU6MDWB">Cricket World Cup</a> squad after a hand injury ruled fast bowler Anrich Nortje out of the tournament, in the latest setback for the injury-plagued side.

Nortje fractured his right thumb while practising in the nets and will need six to eight weeks to make a full recovery, a media statement from Cricket South Africa confirmed on Tuesday.

"Anrich sustained a fracture to his right thumb during a net session in Port Elizabeth on Monday. He immediately consulted a hand surgeon and underwent surgery to stabilise the joint and will, unfortunately, be sidelined for up to eight weeks," team manager Mohammed Moosajee said.

"It is an unfortunate and freakish injury, especially because he had made a successful recovery from the shoulder injury he sustained during the series against Sri Lanka."

Morris has not played One-Day International cricket for South Africa since February 2018, but is a regular in the Twenty20 set-up and is well-regarded for his swing and 'death bowling' in the final few overs when batsmen aim for big hits.

He can also be a powerful lower-order batsman, able to easily clear the boundary ropes.

His record in 50-over cricket is modest though, with 35 wickets in 34 matches at an average of over 40, while he averages less than 20 with the bat.

"Chris has always been in our plans and is our next best option with the ball," South Africa selection convener Linda Zondi said.

"He has the pace and death-bowling skills which will be vital in the UK, and also gives us that depth as a deadly finisher with the bat. We have had concerns around his injuries and workload capabilities, but this is an opportunity for him to make a mark on the biggest stage", Zondi added.

South Africa's build-up to the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-uds-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/sports/off-form-hashim-amla-makes-south-africa-world-cup-squad-211566&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiilf6EvoniAhUCSY8KHTaiCpsQFjABegQIEBAC&amp;usg=AOvVaw1u7LMQISzEEJHN3AQhB_ud">World Cup</a> has been marred by injuries to key players – especially in their fast bowling attack.

Lungi Ngidi dropped out of the Indian Premier League before it began with a side strain, while Kagiso Rabada (back) and Dale Steyn (shoulder) were both withdrawn from that competition due to injury concerns.

The trio is likely to all start if they can prove their fitness, and it would be a massive blow for the team's chances if they fail to do so.

South Africa open their World Cup campaign against hosts England at The Oval on May 30.

Chris Morris in for Anrich Nortje as South Africa forced to shuffle World Cup squad

Bangladesh will ask star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan to return from Indian Premier League and join the team's World Cup preparation camp next week, the nation's Cricket Board said Monday.

Shakib is currently in India with IPL franchise&nbsp; Hyderabad.&nbsp;

“Our camp is beginning. I have asked to send a letter to Shakib immediately to come back. Let’s see how he responds to this,” said Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan in Dhaka.

Shakib played just one game this season, picking up one wicket for 42 runs in 3.4 overs against his former franchise Kolkata.

It was the only competitive game for Shakib since returning from an injury he picked up during the Bangladesh Premier League final in January.

In a star-studded line-up featuring Australia’s David Warner, England’s Jonny Bairstow, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, and Afghanistan duo Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, Bangladesh is concerned Shakib might not get more matches in the coming days.

Unable to get enough games, Shakib recently invited his personal coach Mohammad Salahuddin to India in order to keep him ready for the World Cup.

Bangladesh will start their preparation camp for the tournament on April 22 and the team will leave for the UK in early May. They are scheduled to play a tri-nation tournament in Ireland from May 5-17.

The World Cup will be held in the UK from May 30 to July 14 with Bangladesh starting their campaign against South Africa at the Oval on June 2.
