England make Dawid Malan injury decision after batter forced off field at T20 World Cup

Phil Salt is set to get the nod for England in their T20 World Cup semi-final against India - with Dawid Malan unlikely to be risked in Adelaide.

England medics have been monitoring Malan's groin injury after the batter was forced off the field in Saturday's victory over Sri Lanka. Malan did then not take part in the chase as England secured their spot in the last four - but captain Jos Buttler claimed he "would have batted if he needed to."

Malan has since had a light training session as he battles to make Thursday's team sheet at the Adelaide Oval. But the Daily Mail suggest a decision has already been made, with England unwilling to risk a recurrence of an injury that could impact Malan's batting in a game of such magnitude.
