Jonny Bairstow emerged as a possible injury doubt ahead of England’s Twenty20 series against South Africa, having earlier completed an unusual training exercise that saw him carrying teammate Sam Curran on his shoulders.
Bairstow, who last week reiterated his desire to continue playing all three formats at international level despite the taxing workload, left training at Bristol’s Seat Unique Stadium on Tuesday with ice packs and strapping around his left knee.
