England fast bowler Josh Tongue has been ruled out of the upcoming white-ball tour of Australia with a toe injury.

The 28-year-old suffered the injury in Pakistan last month and didn't take part in the final two games of that tri-series.

He will now return to the UK for further assessment and miss the one-day and T20 matches in Australia, which start with an ODI in Perth on 13 November.
