Amjad Khan
Khan played in the Twenty20 defeat but has not featured in the ODIs

Seamer Amjad Khan is to return home from England's tour of the West Indies because of a cartilage injury.

The Kent player will have treatment back in Britain after being ruled out of Friday's fifth and final one-day international in St Lucia.

Khan flew out to join the Test squad as cover for injuries, making his England debut in the fifth Test in Trinidad.

He then played in the Twenty20 international defeat, but has not featured in any of the ODIs.

The series is level at 2-2 going into Friday's game, for which England duo Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff have been passed fit.

West Indies - whose players' association is in dispute with the country's cricket board, amid threats of strike action affecting the game - have replaced injured spinner Nikita Miller with fellow slow left-armer Sulieman Benn.
