England and Yorkshire batter Jonathan Bairstow has been ruled out of the rest of the summer and the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup after sustaining a lower limb injury.
Bairstow faced a freak accident whilst playing golf on Friday in Leeds and was injured.
The English cricketer will see a specialist next week to ascertain the full extent of the injury.
Nottinghamshire batter Ben Duckett has been added to the Test squad for the LV= Insurance third Test at the Kia Oval starting next Thursday.
A further announcement will be made in due course on who will replace Bairstow in England’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad.
