Nottinghamshire left-arm seam bowler Ryan Sidebottom has been ruled out of Wednesday’s NatWest Twenty20 international against South Africa at Chester-le-Street with a hip problem.
Sidebottom has not travelled with the England squad to face Scotland in Edinburgh tomorrow and will have a fitness check at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Yorkshire all-rounder Tim Bresnan has been added to the squad to face Scotland as cover for Chris Tremlett who is suffering with a heel injury.
Bresnan opened the bowling for England Lions in Saturday's six-wicket victory over South Africa that squared the mini-series between the two sides.
Bresnan sent down an admirable opening burst of 8-1-28-0 to help the Lions restrict South Africa to just 209 from their 50 overs, with Samit Patel's unbeaten 60 guiding the home side to a comfortable victory inside 42 overs.
