Will Jacks will miss the rest of England's white-ball tour of Bangladesh after he suffered a thigh injury during their second ODI victory on Friday.

The tourists wrapped up the series with a 132-run win on Friday ahead of a third and final 50-over game on Monday before three T20I matches.

But they will be without all-rounder Jacks, who is set to fly home in order to begin his rehabilitation after he suffered a thigh injury in Mirpur.

Jacks did the damage while fielding at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

"Will Jacks has been ruled out for the remainder of our tour of Bangladesh after suffering a left thigh injury," the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a brief statement on Sunday.

"Jacks will fly home in the next 48 hours to begin his recovery."

Jacks will be hoping to regain full fitness in time for Royal Challengers Bangalore's Indian Premier League opener against Mumbai Indians on April 2.

England have elected to not call up a replacement for Jacks for their remaining four games against the Tigers, leaving them with just a 13-man party for a T20I series that starts on Thursday.
