Reece topley

The Ipswich-born left-arm seamer suffered an ankle injury tripping on a boundary rope on the eve of the T20 World Cup in October last year, before being dealt a further blow when his stint in the IPL was cut short following a dislocated shoulder. But the 29-year-old Surrey star insists the pair of setbacks have only made him more determined to ensure he is on the plane to India as England seek to defend the title they won four years ago. "That is on the horizon and something that is very much in the forefront of my mind. "It is unfortunate I had a big injury in October and I had another injury at the IPL, it’s very unfortunate but they are two things that can’t really be helped. "It’s not like I was unfit or not conditioned well, it was two impact injuries that couldn’t really be avoided. "It makes you hungry to get back out there, when you are sidelined for such a long time you can’t wait to get back out there. If you want to play with the best you have to show a good mindset and get back out there. Reece Topley is recovering from injury "It is one thing knowing how to get through an injury, but an important question to ask yourself is what other option is there? You have to get your head down and just work your socks off. "I haven’t really started my summer yet, I am a bit behind everyone else, but rehab is coming along well, and I am looking at playing in the not-too-distant future which is quite exciting. I will comfortably be ready for The Hundred in July. “Everything...

A mid the carnage and chaos that concluded England’s victory over West Indies in Bridgetown on Sunday, while Romario Shepherd and Akeal Hosein were showering the stands with sixes, Reece Topley was quietly compiling not only his most economical figures in international T20 cricket, but the second-best figures of his entire career. After restricting West Indies to eight runs in the 19th over of the match – overs 18 and 20 went for a combined 51 – Topley had completed his allocation for the concession of 18.

As a 6”7 left-armer with good pace and a vicious yorker, Reece Topley ticks all the white-ball speed-demon boxes. But woeful injury luck has kept him away from England action since 2016. Now he’s in England’s 14-man-squad for the upcoming ODI series against Ireland; a career that looked it could be over before the age of 25 is back on track. Injury struggles The injuries started for Topley as a 15-year-old net bowler: his hero, Kevin Pietersen drilled a ball into the side of his head. Topley needed stitches and a signed bat from KP to recover, but was soon making headlines for more positive reasons. He took five-wicket hauls in each of his first two Championship games for Essex in 2011. With his father Don having played for the storied club, the sight of Topley on the scorecard was already familiar. The younger Topley then lit up the 2012 U19 World Cup with 19 wickets. Injuries continued to slow his career though, and despite careful management from Essex, back stress fractures plagued his time there. England v Ireland 2023 Despite the empty wickets column, Josh Tongue has passed his Ashes audition On the books at Essex since the age of nine, Topley moved to Hampshire in 2015. But a broken hand, two more stress fractures and a shoulder problem requiring surgery meant that Topley played little cricket in his time at the Ageas Bowl. A 40-millimetre pin in his back and a move to Sussex would prove important steps for Topley in the 2018/19 winter. Don’t call it a comeback Topl...

Topley, 29, sustained the injury while fielding in Royal Challengers Bangalore's first game, against Mumbai Indians on 2 April. RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar confirmed that Topley had returned to England. He had only recently returned to playing after an ankle injury that ruled him out of the T20 World Cup. Topley had suffered ligament damage to his ankle after stepping on a boundary sponge in training and was sidelined for almost three months. The seamer returned to action in January in the SA20, South Africa's franchise T20 tournament. He then made his international return in England's one-day international series against South Africa in February. The latest injury is another big disappointment for Topley, who made his England debut in 2015 and had worked his way back into the set-up after suffering four back stress fractures in five years. England do not play any white-ball cricket until their series against New Zealand that starts at the end of August, followed by the 50-over World Cup in India in October. That gives Topley time to recover, but little opportunity to prove his form or fitness leading in to the World Cup. Topley bowled two overs and took the wicket of Australia's Cameron Green before suffering the injury. His absence adds to RCB's list of injuries this season, with his fellow England team-mate Will Jacks suffering from a thigh problem. Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood is also not expected to feature in the first half of the tournament while batter Rajat Pa...

The game England did not want has led to the outcome they most feared: another freak injury and another key player out of the T20 World Cup. Scans have shown that Tymal Mills – one of three travelling reserves, and the player Topley replaced in the 2021 World Cup squad midway through the tournament when Mills sustained a thigh injury – has been drafted into the squad as a replacement. Lancashire’s Luke Wood, who made his England debut in the recent tour of Pakistan, will now travel to Australia to join the group as a reserve, and is expected to meet them in Melbourne at the start of next week. Read more Topley’s injury follows that of Jonny Bairstow, who broke his left leg in three places and dislocated an ankle after slipping during a round of golf last month. After an overwhelmingly positive buildup to the tournament Jos Buttler and Matthew Mott must now redraft their XI for Saturday’s opening game against Afghanistan in Perth. Monday’s game featured another slip that would have caused concern among England’s coaching staff, as Liam Livingstone – making his return from an ankle injury of his own – fell while turning for a second run, and stayed on the ground for a few seconds before rising gingerly to his feet. But not only did he continue to play, he said later that this moment came as a significant morale-boost. “It was actually nice to slip because it gives you a little bit of confidence,” he said. “Considering I had a 12-week injury and we’re just at the end of week ...

Reece Topley bowled only two overs for RCB in their game against Mumbai Indians and picked up an early wicket of Cameron Green to leave the five-time champions reeling in their innings. Unfortunately, he will no more be part of IPL 2023 as Bangar said, " Reece Topley has travelled back home and he has been ruled out of the tournament. We will be seeking for a replacement soon." RCB have been struggling with injuries to crucial players as Will Jacks got ruled out ahead of the season while Rajat Patidar has also been sidelined. Josh Hazlewood, meanwhile, is set to join the team on April 14 but as Bangar informed, he might be available to play from April 17 for the team. Topley was playing as a back-up bowler for Hazlewood but even he has been ruled out now. In the game against KKR, David Willey replaced Topley and did well to pick up two wickets of Venkatesh Iyer and Mandeep Singh off consecutive deliveries. RCB squad for IPL 2023:
