    Wales Cricket Board: England Test captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out for the rest of the summer after tearing his left hamstring during The Hundred, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Tuesday.

    Stokes sustained the injury while playing in the Hundred for Northern Superchargers against Manchester Originals on Sunday. As he sprinted for a quick single early in the Superchargers' chase, he pulled up injured after completing the run and collapsed, clutching his left leg. He was helped off the field and later returned to the team dugout on crutches.

    "As a result of the scans conducted in Leeds on Tuesday, Stokes will miss England's three-match Rothesay Test series against Sri Lanka, which begins at Emirates Old Trafford on Wednesday, August 21. There will be no addition to the squad for this series," the ECB said in a statement.
