Indian all-rounder Vijay shankar was ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing World Cup due to a toe injury after he was struck on the toe on June 19 while batting against jasprit bumrah in the nets ahead of india's encounter against afghanistan at Southampton. vijay went on to play the matches against pakistan and West Indies despite the injury.
However, he seems to have aggravated the injury over the week and was replaced by Rishabh Pant in the match against england. A day later, he has been ruled out of the competition. Karnataka opener Mayank Agarwal, 28, who made his Test debut against australia last year was called in as the replacement.
Interestingly, Mayank Agarwal has not yet played in the ODI format and if the Team Management has its way he will make his ODI debut in the World Cup. The Team wants to have someone playing aggressively in the Opening Slot. KL rahul lacks that instinct and will be moved to his regular Number Four Position.
