Morgan suffers finger injury
England batsman Eoin Morgan has been ruled out of the final one-day international against Australia because of a finger injury.
The Ireland-born player has suffered a fracture of the distal phalanx in the middle finger of his left hand, and will return to the UK to see a specialist. He could now be a doubt for the World Cup, depending on the medical assessment given.
Morgan first noticed the problem during the fourth ODI in Adelaide but it got progressively worse and the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed that an X-ray had shown a fracture.
Morgan's injury is the latest in a series of problems that have affected England's limited-overs squad.
Worst hit has been the bowling division, with Graeme Swann (knee/back), Tim Bresnan (calf), Ajmal Shahzad (hamstring), Chris Tremlett (side strain) and all-rounder Paul Collingwood (back) all returning home early.
Paceman Stuart Broad has also been sidelined for the entire series due to the stomach injury he suffered during the Ashes.
