Royal London Cup: Ian Bell ruled out due to toe injury

Warwickshire and England batsman Ian Bell has been ruled out of Royal London Cup final against Durham at Lord’s on Saturday.

The 32-year-old batsman suffered a broken toe during the net practice in England’s one-day international series against India earlier this month.

Bell absence will be a huge blow to the reigning NatWest T20 Blast champions, who will be looking to complete a domestic cup double on Saturday.
