Joe Denly has been ruled out of the remainder of England’s five-match Twenty20 international series against New Zealand because of an ankle injury.
The Kent batsman, 33, sustained ligament damage to his right ankle during practice on Thursday.
As a result, Denly missed the opening match of the series on Friday, which England won by seven wickets.
England have not summoned a replacement at this stage. The next match is in Wellington on Sunday at 01:00 GMT. Right-hander Denly will stay in New Zealand as he begins a rehabilitation programme before the two-match Test series against the Black Caps, which begins at Mount Maunganui on Thursday.
