LONDON: England all-rounders Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes will miss the rest of the one-day series against Australia because of injury.

Stokes was sidelined for the first two games of the five-match series, both won by England, due to a torn left hamstring.

“The plan is for Ben to continue his rehabilitation ... with a view to being available to play in the Twenty20s against India,” said the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Woakes also missed the first two matches against Australia because of a right quadriceps tear. The ECB said he would not be available at least until the ODI series against India which starts on July 12.
