CHITTAGONG: England suffered a blow Sunday before the third one-day international against Bangladesh when batsman Will Jacks was ruled out of the rest of the tour with a thigh injury, an official said.
“Will Jacks has been ruled out of the remainder of the tour of Bangladesh after suffering a left thigh injury while fielding during the second one-day international in Dhaka,” said an ECB spokesperson.
“Jacks will fly home in the next 48 hours to begin his recovery,” he said.
Jacks was named as a late replacement for Tom Abell and played both the opening matches of the series.
He made a vital contribution in England’s opening win in a low-scoring thriller on Wednesday with 26 runs and one wicket.
That match was Jacks’ ODI debut after he played two Tests and two Twenty20 internationals for England.
England hold a 2-0 lead after the opening two matches in Dhaka. The third and final match of the series will be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Monday.
