Jacob Bethell has been ruled out of England's white-ball tour of Australia after suffering a setback in his recovery from a right knee injury. The allrounder sustained the setback during a training session in Perth earlier this week, prompting a scan that confirmed his withdrawal from the tour.

Bethell had only recently returned to England's ODI squad after recovering from a knee injury sustained during the ODI series against India in July. He will return to the UK on Saturday to consult a specialist, with England opting for a cautious approach given the busy winter schedule ahead.

James Coles and Eddie Jack have been called up to the ODI squad as replacements for Bethell and Josh Tongue, who was ruled out earlier this week with a big toe injury.

Coles and Jack are expected to arrive in Perth on Thursday. England begin the three-match ODI series against Australia on November 13, with the remaining games scheduled for November 15 in Adelaide and November 18 in Hobart.
