Reece Topley Injured Out of T20I Series
The left-arm seamer fell to the ground in Saturday’s T20 series opener against the West Indies during a brief shower at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
He bowled one more delivery after a rain delay before leaving the pitch with a jarred right knee, smashing a chair in frustration, which meant he was fined 15% of his match fee.
“Reece Topley has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20I series against West Indies through injury, and is to fly home from St Lucia,” England said on X.

After battling back from multiple career-threatening stress fractures of his back, Topley’s ICC World Cup 2023 ended early because of a fractured finger.
He missed the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which England won, after rolling his ankle when treading on a boundary sponge days before the tournament started.
England beat the West Indies by three wickets in Saint Lucia on Thursday to take an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
