• Bowled only two overs against Bangladesh
• England to name replacement later on Friday

LONDON: England bowler Chris Woakes will miss the remainder of the Champions Trophy with a side strain picked up in Thursday's tournament opener against Bangladesh, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said. 'A scan has confirmed that Chris Woakes sustained a left side strain in yesterday's ICC Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh,' the ECB said in a statement on Friday. 'The injury means Woakes will miss the rest of England's participation in the Champions Trophy.' The 28-year-old bowled just two overs before leaving the field as England cantered to an eight-wicket victory after chasing down a victory target of 306 with 16 balls to spare. 'An update on a replacement for the seamer for the remainder of the tournament will follow in due course,' the ECB added. On his return from a maiden stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Woakes nursed a quadriceps niggle and missed two of the three one-dayers against South Africa that preceded the eight-team Champions Trophy. Woakes' unavailability is a fresh setback for England's pace attack, especially after Jake Ball bled 82 runs in his 10 overs against Bangladesh and Ben Stokes's problematic knee prevented the all-rounder from bowling spells at full throttle. England, who are eyeing a first global 50-overs title, face New Zealand in their next game at Cardiff on Tuesday. READ ALSO:
