T20 World Cup: England batter Dawid Malan unlikely to be fit for India semi-final

England's T20 World Cup semi-final against India is likely to be without a batter.

During the run-chase, Malan did not bat because of a groin injury.

Phil Salt is the most likely replacement.

David Willey, Chris Jordan or Tymal Mills could be brought in as bowling options.

England have favored the batting heavy approach so far in the tournament, moving away from it.

England's highest-ranked batter in the T20 world rankings is not having his best time in the World Cup.

He scored a 35 from 37 balls in the loss to Ireland.

"He is a big player and has been for a long time," Ali said.

He has been a great player. Malan's injury doesn't look good.

Salt's highest score was 88 not out against Pakistan in September.

When he was an opener, he would slot into the middle order.

India beat Zimbabwe on Sunday to win the Group 2 title. They were beaten by South Africa in the group stage but were the most impressive side.

It doesn't get bigger than playing India in the world because of the crowds and they are a force in cricket.

I am very excited about it.
