Story summary

Adil Rashid, an England cricket team mainstay for over a decade, will miss the entire ODI (One Day International) series against Sri Lanka due to a right hand injury. Initially, he was expected to be absent only from the first match at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday, but an hour into that game, England announced Rashid would sit out all remaining matches in the series as well. Rashid injured his hand while fielding during England’s final T20 match against Sri Lanka, which ended in a 3-0 victory for England at Old Trafford on Saturday. In Rashid's absence, Rehan Ahmed, an up-and-coming spinner and protege of Rashid’s, was chosen to play in the series opener.
