• England limited-overs captain injured fielding for Middlesex
• ICC to introduce tough new guidelines on player behaviour
Eoin Morgan has withdrawn from the World XI’s T20 match against West Indies at Lord’s on Thursday because of a fractured ring finger on his right hand.
Morgan sustained the injury while fielding on Sunday at backward point for Middlesex against Somerset. He expects to be fit in time for England’s first one-day international against Australia on 13 June. The injury means Shahid Afridi has taken over the World XI captaincy, while Sam Billings has been called up as a replacement batsman. Sam Curran and Tymal Mills have also been added to their squad.
