“It was a huge error in judgement following a frustrating tour for me and I deeply regret my behaviour”

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the upcoming World Twenty20 in Bangladesh after breaking his wrist when he punched a locker in the dressing room following his dismissal during the third and final Twenty20 International against the West Indies in Barbados.

Stokes was clean bowled for a golden duck by West Indies pace bowler Krishmar Santokie.

“I am really disappointed to be missing out on going to a World T20 with England,” Stokes said. “It was a huge error in judgement following a frustrating tour for me and I deeply regret my behaviour. I would like to wish the team all the very best in Bangladesh.”

He has been replaced by Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes.
