Woakes out of Scotland ODI with thigh injury

CHRIS WOAKES joined Ben Stokes on the injury sidelines today for England’s first one-day international of the summer against Scotland next weekend.

Woakes, who will be replaced by Tom Curran in the squad to play in Edinburgh, left the field late in England’s series-levelling Test match win over Pakistan at Headingley with a thigh injury.

Woakes’s participation in the five-match series against Australia is therefore uncertain — as is Stokes’s, after he missed the Leeds Test with a hamstring tear.
