Overton Recalled To England Squad For First Test Vs India, Atkinson Out With Hamstring Injury
Wales Cricket Board: Fast-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton has been recalled to England’s squad for the first Test against India, starting on June 20 in Leeds. Apart from him, Jacob Bethell, Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse are all back in the squad after missing the Zimbabwe Test held at Trent Bridge last month.
Overton makes a surprise return to the Test set-up for the first time since earning his debut against New Zealand at Headingley in June 2022 and made a match-winning 97. Overton, 31, sustained a broken right little finger during the ODI against the West Indies on May 29. But the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said Overton continues to be assessed and reviewed daily by the England medical team.
The allrounder's selection was also made possible with fast-bowler Gus Atkinson being unavailable for selection due to a right hamstring injury sustained during the recent Test against Zimbabwe. With Mark Wood and Olly Stone out of the series due to knee injuries, and Jofra Archer nursing a thumb issue, Atkinson’s injury means England go into their series opener against India with a depleted fast-bowling attack.
