LONDON: England paceman Chris Woakes has been ruled out of the rest of the Champions Trophy one-day international competition with a side strain, it was announced Friday.
Woakes managed just two overs at the start of hosts England´s tournament-opening eight-wicket win over Bangladesh at the Oval on Thursday before leaving the field and played no further part in the match.
"A scan has confirmed that Chris Woakes sustained a left side strain in yesterday´s ICC Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh," said an England and Wales Cricket Board statement.
"The injury means Woakes will miss the rest of England´s participation in the Champions Trophy."
The ECB statement added: "An update on a replacement for the seamer for the remainder of the tournament will follow in due course."
