The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said scans had revealed the injury, sustained as Hales attempted a catch in the outfield and jarred his hand on the ground.

The 28-year-old will return home on Saturday to see a hand surgeon.

The ECB said a replacement in the T20 squad for a three- match series starting on Jan. 26 would be announced in due course.
