Will Jacks ruled out of remainder of BAN tour due to thigh injury

DHAKA: England all-rounder Will Jacks has been ruled out of the remaining fixtures of the Bangladesh tour after suffering from a left thigh injury.

Jacks made his ODI debut on the tour, and played the first two ODIs. He scored 27 runs and picked a wicket over the two encounters before picking up a thigh injury, as per ICC.

The Surrey player made his first international appearance in the 2022/23 season. He made his T20I debut against Pakistan in September, before going on to feature in the Test series against the same side in December.

During his Test debut, Jacks impressed on a very flat surface in Rawalpindi, picking 6/161 in the first innings.

England would go on to win the game by 74 runs. He was a part of the Test squad against New Zealand and the limited overs squad in Bangladesh. England lead the three-match ODI series 2-0.

England won the first ODI by three wickets thanks to a century from Dawid Malan (114*). In the second ODI, Jason Roy (132) and skipper Jos Buttler (76) helped England post 326/7 and Bangladesh fell 132 runs short of the win.

The third ODI will be played on March 6, 2023. The side will also play three T20Is on the tour, starting from March 9 onwards.
