England and Warwickshire batsman Jonathan Trott has been ruled out of the remainder of the domestic season with an undisplaced fracture of the third metacarpal in his right hand.

The injury was sustained during the fourth ODI in the current NatWest Series against South Africa and although initial X-rays were clear, a subsequent MRI scan revealed a fracture at the base of his third metacarpal.

No intervention is required and the 31 year old should be able to resume batting in 3-4 weeks and is expected to available for the tour of India next month.
