## Ellis Ruled Out of Last Two Scotland T20Is and England Tour Due to Hamstring Injury England all-rounder Chris Ellis has been ruled out of the last two Twenty20 Internationals against Scotland and the upcoming tour of Pakistan with a hamstring injury. ### Extent of the Injury Ellis suffered the injury during England's warm-up match against Scotland on June 25. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that a scan revealed a grade two hamstring tear, which is expected to sideline him for several weeks. ### Impact on Scotland Series Ellis's absence is a significant blow to England's hopes of securing a series victory against Scotland. The all-rounder has been in impressive form this summer, scoring 43 runs and taking four wickets in the first two T20Is. ### Implications for Pakistan Tour Ellis was also expected to play a key role in England's upcoming tour of Pakistan. However, his injury has ruled him out of the three-match Test series and the five-match T20I series. ### Replacement for Ellis The ECB has yet to announce a replacement for Ellis in the Scotland squad. However, David Willey and Craig Overton are potential candidates to fill the all-rounder role. ### Long-Term Outlook Ellis's hamstring injury is a setback for both England and the player himself.
