LondoncTypeface:> The England Cricket Board (ECB) pulled out bowler Chris Woakes of The Hundred due to "management of his workload” ahead of the Three Lions’ Test series against Sri Lanka, according to ESPNcricinfo. The 35-year-old English player was expected to take part in Birmingham Phoenix’s final two group-stage games against Trent Rockets and Manchester Originals at The Hundred.
However, the Birmingham-based club announced that Woakes will be "unavailable for the remainder of the competition”. According to the report, England denied that Woakes’ pull out from The Hundred is linked to Ben Stokes’ injury. Earlier on Sunday, Ben Stokes suffered a
suspected hamstring injury while playing in a domestic match. (Ani)
