Stokes ruled out of SA20 with hamstring injury

England Test captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the SA20 with a hamstring injury.

The 33-year-old will miss at least three months with the injury he sustained while bowling in the third Test against New Zealand earlier this month.

Stokes was due to play for MI Cape Town and feature in the tournament for the first time.

Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow and Zak Crawley are among the England players due to take part in the tournament, which takes place from 9 January to 8 February.

Joe Root and Liam Livingstone have also been signed but their involvement is expected to be limited by England's white-ball series against India and the Champions Trophy.
