England and Somerset spinner Jack Leach has been ruled out of the rest of England Men’s Test tour of India with a left knee injury.  Leach sustained the injury during England’s first Test victory in Hyderabad and missed the second Test in Vizag as a result. 

He will fly home from Abu Dhabi in the next 24 hours, where the England team have been staying ahead of the third Test in Rajkot, which starts on Thursday.  Leach will work closely with the England and Somerset medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation.

England will not be calling up a replacement.
