Stuart Broad remains unlikely to play again before England head out to Australia for the start of the Ashes.
England are still awaiting results of the latest scans on Broad's sore left heel, and the seamer is not expected to rejoin Nottinghamshire for two remaining fixtures in their bid for promotion from Division Two of the Specsavers County Championship.
The 31-year-old was an ever-present for England through their successful Test summer but is not currently involved in their limited-overs squads - having won the last of his 121 one-day international caps early last year.
He therefore has an opportunity to rest an injury, which is thought to date back to his problems with a split fat-pad in 2012/13, until England's departure for Australia at the end of October.
