I'm guessing you're asking about the Cromwell equipped Armoured Recon, not Armoured Car Recon which has a different order of battle. The Armoured Recon units didn't have any integral infantry support, instead they worked with whichever units they were deployed alongside. British infantry used Carriers, Trucks and Half-tracks for various roles, so you could use any of them.
Small teams such as MGs, Mortars etc ride in carriers. Half Tracks are for deploying troops into combat, trucks are for moving men up to the front. For a recce unit, half tracks are a better choice. Mind you, most units had access to carriers for transport purposes as well.
Depending on where, when and how the encounter took place, the infantry may not have had any transport available. If you are looking at the Market Garden operation, you would have US Airborne fighting alongside the British armoured units at various points as well.
