Delhi: The England cricket team has suffered a major setback before the ODI and T20 series against Australia. Actually, young all-rounder Jacob Bethel has been ruled out of the entire ODI and T20 series due to injury. Bethel, who was recovering from a right knee injury, once again faced trouble during training, after which the ECB decided to drop him from the team.

Jacob Bethel out of ODI and T20 series

Jacob Bethel, who plays for RCB in the IPL, again injured his right knee during a training session in Perth earlier this week. After this he was scanned, in which the injury was confirmed. Now he will return to England on Saturday, where he will consult a specialist doctor.

Bethel had earlier suffered a knee injury during the ODI series against India in July. After recovering from this, he recently returned to the England ODI team.
