Dawid Malan 'unlikely to be fit' for England's T20 World Cup semi-final vs India

England look set to be without number three Dawid Malan for their T20 World Cup semi-final clash against India after he suffered a groin injury in the win over Sri Lanka.

Malan limped off the field during Sri Lanka's innings and then did not bat in England's chase, although captain Jos Buttler later said he "would have batted if he needed to". And BBC Sport are now reporting that Malan is 'unlikely to be fit' for Thursday's semi-final.

As a result, Phil Salt could be brought into the side as his replacement given he is the only spare batter in England's squad.
