England team has suffered a major setback, before the ODI series
The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and England will be played in Nagpur from February 6. Before this match, the England team's troubles have increased. After the crushing defeat in the T20 series, a young player of England has been injured. The name of this player is Jamie Smith.
Jamie Smith made his debut in the T20 series against England, but he got a chance to play in only two matches. Jamie Smith is also included in England's ODI team.
England team has suffered a major setback
Wicketkeeper batsman Jamie Smith has suffered a calf injury. Due to this, he will be out of two ODIs for England against India. The biggest problem for England due to Jamie Smith's injury is that England now has only one option left for wicketkeeping. On the India tour, Jos Buttler is playing only as a batsman. On the other hand, Phil Salt has taken over the responsibility of wicket-keeping in the T20 series. In such a situation, Jamie's injury has increased the difficulties for England.
Biggest problem for England due to Jamie Smith's injury
After Jamie Smith's injury, the England team is now preparing to take the field with an extra bowler. Spinner Rehan Ahmed, who is included in the T20 team, can be included in the squad in place of Smith. It is believed that he will support Adil Rashid in the spin department. Earlier, Rehan Ahmed was selected in the team only for the T20 series.
