England all-rounder Sam Curran OUT of T20 World Cup with lower back injury sustained during IPL and will replaced by his brother Tom

England all-rounder Sam Curran has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup with a lower back injury.

Curran complained of back pain after Chennai Super Kings' Indian Premier League fixture on Saturday against Rajasthan Royals and a scan later revealed the injury.

He will fly back to the UK in the next couple of days and will have further scans before the England and Wales Cricket Board's medical team review the injury later this week.
