However, the 33-year-old looks unlikely to play a part, adding to England’s injury crisis with seven fast bowlers out at the moment.

“At the moment there is no timescale on when he will be back.”

England, who will be led by new captain Ben Stokes, are already missing the likes of Sam Curran and Mark Wood, while Jofra Archer was last week ruled out for a lengthy period due to a stress fracture of the back.
