Warwickshire fast bowler Boyd Rankin ruled out for the season

Warwickshire fast bowler Boyd Rankin has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a fractured left tibia.

The former England paceman, 32, suffered the injury in training ahead of Warwickshire's current Specsavers County Championship match against Surrey at Edgbaston.

He will miss the rest of the domestic season plus Ireland's forthcoming fixtures against Pakistan, Hong Kong, South Africa and Australia.

Dougie Brown, Warwickshire's Director of Cricket, said: "It's extremely frustrating to lose Boyd during such a key point in the season.

"He will now go through a rehabilitation programme with our medical team to rest, strengthen and be ready for our 2017 pre-season schedule."
