England fast bowler Liam Plunkett was on Friday ruled out of the remainder of their Twenty20 tri-series against New Zealand and Australia with a hamstring injury. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also ruled out Plunkett from the one-day internationals against New Zealand, starting on February 25.
Plunkett, who had already missed the final two ODIs against Australia in January, suffered a hamstring tear in Tuesday’s tri-series defeat by the Black Caps.
In the T20 tri-series, England are yet to pick up a point after three defeats on the trot. Australia are already through to the final after winning four games out of four.
