Stokes ruled out of World T20

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh with a broken hand.

The 22-year-old has returned home to the UK with a fractured right hand after he punched a locker following his dismissal during England's T20 win over the West Indies on Thursday.

The England and Wales Cricket Board have confirmed that Stokes will play no part in the global tournament as he recovers from the injury.

Chris Woakes has been called up as his replacement.
