Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the final Test against Pakistan due to a calf injury sustained during the second Test at Old Trafford, although England still hope he could be involved in the limited-overs series that follows.Stokes, who missed most of the series against Sri Lanka after suffering a knee injury that required surgery, was making his comeback in Manchester. But he was forced off the pitch midway through a spell of bowling on the fourth day and scans subsequently showed he had torn his right calf. As a result he missed the third Test at Edgbaston and will not play at The Oval.While an ECB spokesman said Stokes would work towards being available for selection for the Royal London ODI series starting later this month, England will be taking no risks with his recovery.Alastair Cook, Englands Test captain, suggested on Tuesday that Stokes latest injury was in some way related to his previous one - perhaps indicating that he might have required more time to retain peak physical condition before returning to international cricket - and stated that England should treat him with care and lets get him back 100 percent before we start talking of him playing again.Following the Tests, Englands five-match ODI series against Pakistan starts on August 24 before a one-off T20 on September 7 completes the international season. Pending security assessments they then leave for the tour of Bangladesh at the end of September - a trip that includes three ODIs and two Tests - before a five-match Test series in India.Stokes will be vital to the balance of the side on the subcontinent where England will likely want to field two spinners. The performances of Chris Woakes since his comeback against Sri Lanka mean that they are not without another all-round option, but their combined skills mean England could at some stage field a six-man bowling attack with Stokes considered a good enough batsman to play in the top five.England also confirmed that Adil Rashid had been released to play in Yorkshires Championship match against Warwickshire, starting at Headingley on Thursday. Rashid and Jake Ball were the unused players in Englands squad of 13 for Edgbaston. Cheap Colorado Avalanche Jerseys .

Jeremy Guthrie pitched impressively into the seventh inning, Salvador Perez hit a two-run triple and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Monday night for their sixth straight victory. "Aarons facing the best hitter to walk on this planet," Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. "The way he came in and showed no fear, went right after him with the crowd standing up on every pitch. Thats a big moment right there. Crow is usually not a big fan of showing emotion right there, but he got fired up. It just fires up the whole team at that point." Guthrie (7-3) limited the Tigers to a two-run homer by Cabrera in 6 1-3 innings in helping the Royals to extend their longest winning streak since they won seven straight in September 2011. He gave up six hits and walked three. Crow replaced Guthrie after he gave up a single to Avisail Garcia and he hit Andy Dirks with an 0-2 pitch. Crow retired Torii Hunter on a fly to shallow right and struck out Cabrera swinging to end the threat. "The slider was probably the best pitch Ive thrown all year," Crow said of the pitch he used to strike out Cabrera. "I havent thrown that many good ones. Thats what were paid to do. Its a situation you dont want to be in." The Tigers managed just one two-out single off four Kansas City relievers after Guthrie exited with Crow logging the biggest two outs. "The bullpen was huge for us," Guthrie said. "They won the game for us." Cabrera, who tops the American League with 90 hits and 69 RBIs, hit his 18th home run in the second after Hunter doubled. "I made a bad mistake and he didnt miss it," Guthrie said of hanging a breaking ball. Perezs one-out triple in the third by diving centre fielder Garcia scored Alcides Escobar and Hosmer after they each singled. Lorenzo Cains two-out infield single scored Perez with the go-ahead run. "Garcia gave aa good effort and missed," Hunter said.dddddddddddd "I chased it down. As an ex-centre fielder, I know, if you see me coming, you get out of the way. Thats his ball if he wants it. Ive got to get out of the way. On that ball, a right-handed batter, the ball fades back to right field. Its probably coming back towards me. He probably should have let it go. He played it aggressively and thats all right. Hes 21. Hell learn. Hes 6-5, 250. Im getting out of his way." Doug Fister (5-4), who is 0-3 in five starts since a victory May 14 over Houston, went the distance. He allowed three runs on nine hits. "Theyre patient," Fister said. "When they needed to they produced what they needed. They put two runs on the board for me and I didnt make it stand up." Greg Holland worked a flawless ninth for his 13th save in 15 opportunities. "Just a phenomenal job of pitching on our part," Royals manager Ned Yost said. The Royals are 7-2 in June after losing 20 of 28 games in May. The pitching staff has a 1.44 ERA in June. The Royals improved to 8-3 since George Brett was named the interim hitting coach on May 30.
