Shahzad and Tremlett flying back to England for treatment
England have confirmed that bowlers Ajmal Shahzad and Chris Tremlett will fly home from Sydney on Thursday for treatment on their injuries.
The duo were both ruled out of the remaining two games of the one-day series against Australia on Tuesday having picked up knocks.
Yorkshireman Shahzad has been sidelined by a hamstring problem picked up in the fifth game in Brisbane, while Tremlett is laid low with a side strain.
While there has been no further deterioration in their condition, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have made the decision to fly the pair home earlier than originally planned.
This will allow them to receive a longer window of rehabilitation treatment in England before the squad travel to the subcontinent for the World Cup later this month.
