Wagg and Troughton injured for National Academy

Warwickshire players, Graham Wagg and Jim Troughton, will not fly to Australia on Sunday 13 October with the remainder of the National Academy squad due to injury.

Wagg has a stress fracture of the back and Troughton has stress fractures in the fibula bones of both legs. Whilst both players will attend the National Academy programme introduction at Loughborough next week, neither will travel to Adelaide before Christmas. They will re-habilitate with Warwickshire CCC.

They will undergo medicals in December and it is hoped both will be able to join the Academy squad in Adelaide in early January next year.

No replacements will be made for this initial training phase of the programme.
