England fast bowler Jofra Archer will miss the entire season after suffering a stress fracture of the lower back.
It is another setback for the 27-year-old, who has not played since last July following two elbow operations.
Archer was on track in his recovery and was hoping to play domestic cricket this month, only to feel soreness in his back last week.
He is also set to miss the T20 World Cup in Australia this autumn, with no timeframe set for his return.
It is the latest injury to an England pace bowler, with seven – including Archer – ruled out of the summer’s first Test against New Zealand.
