Pace bowler Steven Finn has been ruled out of England's ICC World Twenty20 squad and replaced by Liam Plunkett.
Finn, 26, was forced out of England's tour of South Africa in January with a side strain, but has withdrawn from the upcoming tournament in India with a left calf problem.
Plunkett, 30, was in the England party for the T20 leg of the South Africa tour, but did not play in either game.
England's first World T20 game is against West Indies on 16 March.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Losing Finn is a blow. He has been excellent since his return to international cricket and his career T20 numbers are very good. He would have been in my starting XI.
I am pleased for Liam Plunkett. He has been jerked around a fair bit by the England selectors over the last 12 months. I thought he was deserving of being in the initial squad to begin with. I doubt he will see all that much game time though as England seem to believe that Chris Jordan is the better player. I am not so sure I agree with that.
