It remains to be seen if Jacks' injury endangers his participation in the IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore signed him for INR 3.2 crore (£320,000 approx.) as cover for Glenn Maxwell at December's auction. They play their first game on April 2 against Mumbai Indians.

After being left out of the second Test in Wellington, he flew to Dhaka and arrived three days before Wednesday's first ODI; his luggage arrived 48 hours after he did, meaning he had to train using a kit borrowed from his team-mates. In Bangladesh, he made 26 and 1 in his two innings from No. 6, and took one wicket across 11 tidy overs.

England have not replaced Jacks in their squad for either Monday's third ODI in Chattogram or the subsequent three-match T20I series. As a result, they will only have 13 players to choose from in the T20Is, leaving them vulnerable to any last-minute injury or illness.
