Event:Australia in British Isles 2009

DateLine: 16th September 2009

 

England all-rounder Luke Wright has been ruled out for the remaining two matches of the ODI series against Australia because of a toe injury.

 

Wright was hit on the big toe of his left foot while facing the bowling machine at the National Cricket Performance centre on Monday, and was left needing stitches.

 

A fitness test ruled him out of the side that slumped to a fifth consecutive NatWest series defeat at Trent Bridge on Tuesday and now he will also miss Thursday's day-night contest in Nottingham and the seventh clash in Durham.

 

His fitness would then be assessed next week with regard to his participation in the Champions Trophy.

 

Hampshire captain Dimitri Mascarenhas was summoned to link up with the side on Monday night and will remain with the squad after impressing on Tuesday.
