Plunkett Called Up To England T20 Squad
Liam Plunkett has been handed a late place in EnglandÛªs squad for the World Twenty20 tournament after replacing the injured Steven Finn.

Middlesex ace Finn has been struggling with a calf strain for weeks and has now been officially ruled out of the tournament in India. The bowler had to sit out the entire limited-overs clashes with South Africa recently, and will now be replaced by Plunkett.

Despite being sent home from EnglandÛªs 5-0 Ashes whitewash in Australia in order to revive his form, Finn has returned to play a major part in the England squad in all formats of the game.

According to Sky Sports, Durham fast bowler Plunkett will now travel with Trevor BaylissÛª men when they leave for the tournament on March 8. The 30-year-old has played in just three T20 internationals for his country, but has a reputation as being a huge hitter of the ball lower down the order.
