England's T20 World Cup trophy hopes have been hit with a blow with express fast-bowler Tymal Mills ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.

Mills pulled up injured midway through his second over in England's last game against Sri Lanka on Monday. It has now been confirmed he has suffered right thigh muscle strain which will require a minimum of three weeks to rehabilitate. 

27-year-old quick Reece Topley - with the team as a travelling reserve - is approved as a replacement in England's 15-man squad by the ICC Event Technical Committee.
