Yorkshire lose injured batsman Aaron Finch

Yorkshire batsman Aaron Finch will return home to Australia after scans revealed he has broken a bone in his foot.
Finch sustained the injury to his right foot during Yorkshire Vikings' win over Durham Jets in the T20 Blast last Friday.
The Australian missed the first two months of the summer after tearing a hamstring in the Indian Premier League and bruised a lung playing for Yorkshire’s second XI last month.
His latest setback saw him miss Sunday’s defeat to Derbyshire and Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon has now confirmed the injury has ended his summer with the club.
"That's the end of the season for Aaron, as far as Yorkshire is concerned," said Moxon on Yorkshire's website.
"Scans have revealed that he has fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. He will now see a specialist in Melbourne.
"It is a great disappointment for Aaron and the club and we wish him a speedy recovery."
Moxon added that Glenn Maxwell, who is due to fly out to India later this week for a two-week tour with Australia A, is now likely to return to Yorkshire.
"The plan is for Glenn to return after the India A tour at the back end of July to play in the Royal London One-Day Cup competition and a couple of Championship matches," added Moxon.
"We are finalising arrangements with Cricket Australia, but expect that to be sorted out soon."
