LONDON, June 15: Bowler Glen Chapple has withdrawn from England's one-day squad because of an abdominal muscle strain, officials said on Thursday.

Chapple was returning to his club, Lancashire, for treatment and would be replaced by Worcestershire's Kabir Ali, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement.

Chapple suffered the injury during England's win over Ireland on Tuesday when he made his One-day International debut.

A fitness test on Thursday showed he had not recovered sufficiently to play in the Twenty20 match against Sri Lanka in Southampton later on Thursday.—Reuters
