Finn to return home

Steven Finn will miss the remainder of England’s tour of Australia after scans revealed that he has a torn left knee cartilage.

The Middlesex seamer sustained the injury during practice last week in Perth and will now return to the UK in the 48 hours where he will meet a knee specialist to ascertain whether he will have an operation.

England will announce his replacement for the rest of the tour in due course.
