Rory Burns ruled out for four months due to ankle injury

England opening batsman Rory Burns will be out of the game for four months after undergoing surgery on ruptured ligaments in his left ankle. Rory will miss England’s two-match test tour of Sri Lanka in March. Rory suffered the injury while playing football in the warm-up before England’s training session at Newlands, the day before the second Test against South Africa. Kent’s young opener Zak Crawley replaced him in the side.
