NEW DELHI: England fast bowler Reece Topley will miss the rest of the Twenty20 series against the West Indies due to a knee injury.
Topley sustained the injury while bowling during the first match of the five-match series in Barbados on November 9th. He will return to England for further assessment.
This injury adds to a string of setbacks that have hampered Topley’s international career.
In a separate incident, Topley received a 15 percent fine of his match fee for damaging a chair.
“As he left the field and climbed steps to the England dressing room, Topley picked up a chair and struck it against an iron hand rail,” according to officials.
The incident occurred after Topley received treatment and before he realized he could not continue playing. He admitted to the offense and accepted the penalty.
England is currently leading the series 2-0. The third match is scheduled for Thursday in St. Lucia.
