Chris Tremlett will replace Stuart Broad in England's World Cup squad after gaining permission form the England and Wales cricket board.
Broad was ruled out of the tournament on Tuesday after straining his side in England's win over South Africa.
Tremlett, already with the squad as a stand-by player, is more or less a like-for-like replacement for Broad. However, 29-year-old Tremlett, who is 6ft 7in, has played only 13 one-day internationals.
Broad, 24, has an impressive tally of 130 wickets from 76 ODIs, including a best haul of 5-23 against South Africa at Trent Bridge in 2008.
