YORKSHIRE seamer Liam Plunkett has been called up to England's one-day and Twenty20 squads after Steven Finn was ruled out of the remainder of the South Africa tour with a side strain.

Finn suffered the injury during the third Test in Johannesburg, where he will begin his recovery for a week before returning home.

At this stage England are hopeful he will be fit for the World Twenty20 in March, though even then he would be short of meaningful white-ball practice heading into the tournament.

More immediately, England will choose between Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan and Mark Footitt for the fourth Test at Centurion, which starts on Friday.

An England and Wales Cricket Board statement read: "Finn felt discomfort on day two of the third Test and scans revealed a left side strain.

"Finn, who had been selected in both the ODI and T20 squads, will stay in South Africa for a week to begin his rehab before returning to the UK at the end of the Test series. He is expected to be available for selection for the ICC World T20."

Finn missed England's first series of the winter, against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates, with a foot injury suffered in a warm-up match and was initially left out of the trip to South Africa.

But he recovered ahead of schedule and, after a brief stint with the Lions, linked up with the senior squad in time for the first Test.

He was England's most threatening bowler in the first two games of the series and finishes with 11 wickets at 26.09.

His withdrawal provides another opportunity for Plunkett, who impressed in the T20s against Pakistan and was unfortunate to lose his spot. The Yorkshire bowler is currently with the England Lions in the United Arab Emirates.

"I was disappointed not to be in the squad in the first place, but I came back here with the Lions determined to play to my best and show I'm still ready if they need me," he said.

"Obviously I'd seen Finny was injured so I did wonder, and I got the call from national selector James Whitaker earlier.

"From the end of last season I've pretty much been bowling all the time, and I just had a few weeks off in December.

"I've enjoyed my brief time with the Lions and hopefully I can play a part in getting this series off to a good start before going to South Africa."
