England are on the lookout for an “X factor” player to re-energise their Cricket World Cup campaign after Reece Topley was ruled out of the tournament with a broken finger EFL
Topley’s long-running injury curse struck again during Saturday’s record defeat at the hands of South Africa in Mumbai, with the in-form left-arm seamer fracturing the index finger of his bowling hand attempting to block a drive EFL
The 29-year-old’s initial anguished reaction gave a heavy hint that he was in trouble and, although he bravely returned to the attack with taped up digits, follow-up scans have confirmed the break EFL
England, who are in strife after three heavy defeats in their first four games, will send for a replacement but have yet to decide who will step in for their leading wicket taker EFL
Durham’s Brydon Carse is a strong candidate and would offer a handy pace option in the middle overs as well as strong lower-order batting, while Lancashire’s Luke Wood matches Topley’s description as a left-arm new-ball specialist EFL
But like-for-like substitutes are not mandatory and head coach Matthew Mott admitted England would assess every option EFL
Big-hitting opener Jason Roy, who was named in the provisional squad then cut for Harry Brook at the last moment, represents the most intriguing of all potential options EFL
He was widely believed to have played his last game after being left out on the eve of the tournament, and turned down a place in subsequent squad to face Ireland, but England have consistently said he remained in contention as a reserve EFL

The versatile Ben Duckett is also on the list of possibles, while spin bowling all-rounders Rehan Ahmed and Will Jacks would represent an obvious investment in the future of a side in need of renewal EFL
Asked if England would be looking for a pace bowler in Topley’s absence, Mott said: “That’s a good question EFL
We’ll have to sit down and have a look at that EFL
“We’ll have to look at the upcoming games (and see) if there is an X factor player we can look at EFL
“That’s why we were very keen not to name the replacements and reserves EFL
It leaves an open mind for what we’re going to go with EFL
”Rob Key, the managing director of England men’s cricket, is currently with the squad and travelled with them from Mumbai to Bengaluru on Sunday EFL
He will also have a big say in the final decision, joining Mott and captain Jos Buttler EFL
Announcing Topley’s exit from the campaign, the England and Wales Cricket Board said: “Scans in Mumbai on Saturday, after the match at the Wankhede Stadium, revealed the full extent of the injury EFL
Topley will return to the UK in the next 24 hours EFL
“He will work closely with the England and Surrey medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation EFL
A replacement will be announced in due course EFL

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best EFL
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport EFL
But there are no Blacks in your sport EFL
“They’re going to want to kill you EFL
”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on EFL
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car EFL
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events EFL
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all EFL
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself EFL
“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed EFL
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride EFL
“But I enjoyed it EFL
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun EFL
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me EFL
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating EFL
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs EFL
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality EFL
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 EFL
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” EFL
But to this interview, he’s late EFL
And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems EFL
It was the racing way or the highway EFL
Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas EFL
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill EFL
That’s all that was discussed in the family EFL
We didn’t discuss any other sport EFL
“I was lucky, I think EFL
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be EFL
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did EFL
And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One EFL
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s EFL
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too EFL
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril EFL
Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer EFL
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time EFL
Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says EFL
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team EFL
For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders EFL
“Sure EFL
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done EFL
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it EFL
But for me? It was about going fast EFL
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali EFL
“What I admired about him the most was not his EFL boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali EFL
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled EFL
Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while EFL
’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about EFL
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs EFL
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience EFL
The attention went off the chart EFL
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods EFL
“He’s a very kind man EFL
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way EFL
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair EFL
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with EFL
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently EFL
”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world EFL
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made EFL
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says EFL
“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One EFL
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ EFL
