Injured Trott Expected to be Fit Before India Tour

Trott was ruled out of the fifth and final one-day international against South Africa after his right hand was broken by a short ball from Dale Steyn at Lord's on Sunday.

He will also miss Warwickshire's final County Championship game on Sept 11, as well as their 40-over final against Hampshire four days later.
