Mark Wood has been passed fit for England's World Cup opener against South Africa on Thursday.
The pace bowler pulled up while running in during Saturday's warm-up match against Australia and was sent to hospital for scans on his troublesome left ankle. They have now been assessed and the 29-year-old has been given the green light for the tournament curtain-raiser.
Wood was scheduled to bowl during England's warm-up match against Afghanistan on Monday - which the home team won by nine wickets - but he did not play any part in the match.
While England will be relieved that their quickest bowler is ready to go, they will also be increasingly aware of the need to manage the Durham man's workload. He has bowled a grand total of 13.1 overs since the start of the summer having been rested for the early part of the domestic season.
But England evidently did not miss Wood's services on Monday as Jofra Archer-led bowling attack restricted the underdogs to 160 en route to victory at The Oval.
Fast bowler Archer took 3-32 in 5.4 overs before opener Jason Roy smashed an unbeaten 46-ball 89, studded with 11 fours and four sixes, and Joe Root finished on 29 not out as England chased down the total with 32.3 overs to spare.
Following his thunderous innings, Roy conceded England are now "champing at the bit" for the World Cup curtain raiser at the same venue on Thursday.
"We're ready, it's a beautiful stadium to play our first game at and the boys are extremely excited so we're champing at the bit," he said.
"We really want the tournament to start now. Good foundations and good prep leading into Thursday."
After England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and opted to field, Archer and Root's part-time off-spin delivered three wickets apiece in bowler-friendly conditions.
Barbados-born fast bowler Archer struck twice with the new ball, drawing a top edge from Hazratullah Zazai before wicketkeeper-batsman Rahmat Shah holed out to mid-on.
The wheels came off the Afghanistan innings when they lost four wickets in the space of just eight deliveries, with Hashmatullah Shahidi (19) and Najibullah Zadran (1) carelessly run out.
Captain Gulbadin Naib (14) was caught at long-on to Moeen Ali and Rashid Khan edged Root to slip for a golden duck. Root claimed his third wicket as Aftab Alam chipped straight to point.
Mohammed Nabi offered some resistance with a 42-ball 44, which included three sixes, but he was the last man out when a thick edge off Archer found Jonny Bairstow at deep third-man.
"The guys put in a really strong performance today," captain Morgan told Sky Sports Cricket. "[Afghanistan] are very strong and we're very well aware of that but going out and putting in a performance like we did puts us in a good position."
Morgan said the value of spinners could be immeasurable as the World Cup progresses.
"Across the world, particularly in franchise cricket in the last couple of years, wrist spinners have dominated, and I think every team that has one is in with a chance of upsetting somebody along the way," he said.
"We're very lucky with [leg-spinner] Adil [Rashid], Moeen as well, so those guys hopefully will contribute probably towards the back end of the tournament more so than the beginning."
