Zak Crawley will miss the start of England’s Test series against India after a “freak incident” saw him slip on a marble floor and sprain his wrist.
Crawley was leaving the dressing room in Chennai on Tuesday when he took a tumble on the uncovered surface and landed hard on his right hand.
He missed training 24 hours later, his 23rd birthday, with scans eventually showing a sprain and inflammation in the joint, ruling the Kent batsman out of Friday’s opening match and the follow-up at the same ground.
