England's Jonny Bairstow is out of the first Test against Sri Lanka as he recovers after injuring himself playing football, coach Trevor Bayliss said.
The wicketkeeper-batsman hurt his ankle playing football in a training session and missed the last two games of the five-match ODI series, which England won 3-1.
"No, he's not available for this Test match," Bayliss told sports radio station talkSPORT.
"He has come on a long way in the last week or so but with another winter tour and a big summer we didn't necessarily want to risk it."
"Definitely one of them will be keeping but how we structure the batting order and what combination of bowlers we put in to the team could determine who eventually gets the gloves."
