He was hit on the right hand by a short ball from Dale Steyn in Sunday’s victory at Lord’s.

An X-ray on Monday suggested “no major fracture”, but a subsequent MRI revealed he has broken a bone near the knuckle between his third finger and the back of his hand.

Trott will not need surgery but will miss the remainder of the domestic campaign.
