Jonny Bairstow cried when England won the T20 World Cup after missing out through injury

Jonny Bairstow has revealed he cried when watching his England teammates win the T20 World Cup, admitting the emotion got to him.

Bairstow was originally set to open the batting at the World Cup alongside captain Jos Buttler, but suffered a freak injury while playing golf the day the squad was announced. The 33-year-old broke his leg in three places and dislocated his ankle after slipping while walking off the side of the green.

"I tried to regain my balance, my left ankle turned right, dislocated and my weight went through my left lower leg," he told the Telegraph last month. "I heard it snap straight away."
