As the T20 World Cup 2022 draws to a close, there has been some encouraging news from the England camp. The two England players who were injured in the team’s last Super 12 game and missed the semifinal game against India have returned to the squad ahead of the final showdown in Australia.
England’s Dawid Malan and bowler Mark Wood were spotted training in the nets ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 final. The two players who suffered injuries in the game against India were ruled out of the semifinal game, but are expected to return in the final XI.
