Leg-spinner Mason Crane will miss England's Test tour of New Zealand because of a back injury.
The 21-year-old, who made his Test debut in Sydney against Australia in January, has a stress fracture in his lower back and will return to England.
He has been replaced in the squad by Somerset left-arm spinner Jack Leach, who took 8-110 for the England Lions against the West Indies A in February.
The two-Test series begins in Auckland on 22 March.
Hampshire's Crane finished with figures of 1-193 on his Test debut in Sydney.
He had been named in the squad for England's first tour match against a New Zealand XI, which began on Wednesday, but did not play.
