England mainstay Adil Rashid to miss entire ODI cricket series against Sri Lanka with hand injury
England legspinner Adil Rashid will miss the entire ODI cricket series against Sri Lanka because of a right hand injury. Rashid has been a mainstay in England’s team for more than a decade. He was initially forced out of the first match of the series, at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday, with the problem. About an hour into the game, the England team released a statement saying Rashid would miss the other two matches as well.
Rehan Ahmed, a spinning allrounder and a protege of Rashid’s, was selected for the series opener in his place.
