Finn out with hamstring injury

Steven Finn, the England pacer, is set to be out of actions for close to four weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the fourth and final Test against Pakistan at The Oval. The 27-year-old wasn't named in the 15-member England squad for the five-match One-Day International series against Pakistan.

"Middlesex and England bowler Steven Finn has sustained a left hamstring tear," England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement on Tuesday (August 16). "He is anticipated to be available in approximately four weeks.

"The 27-year-old will start a rehabilitation programme with Middlesex and England, and is aiming to play a part in Middlesex's Championship campaign in September."

Finn picked up five wickets in the three Tests he played against Pakistan at an average of 70.40 and is expected to miss Middlesex's next few fixtures.
