Sidebottom to miss rest of tour

Ryan Sidebottom
12 April 2012

England bowler Ryan Sidebottom will miss the rest of the tour of Bangladesh after succumbing to a thigh injury.

Left-armer Sidebottom is to fly home and will not play any part in the final one-day international on Friday or the two-Test series.

He will be replaced in the Test squad by Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan, who is currently in Bangladesh for the one-dayers.

Bresnan is set to play in the third ODI in Chittagong, although there is a doubt over fellow fast bowler Stuart Broad.

Broad sat out Thursday's training session with a back problem he sustained during his second over in Tuesday's series-clinching win but bowled four more before leaving the field for treatment.

Ajmal Shahzad could be drafted in for his ODI debut, although Durham bowler Liam Plunkett is also available.
