England vs West Indies: Matthew Potts drafted in for second ODI after Jamie Overton ruled out of white-ball series with broken little finger | Cricket News


England have drafted in Matthew Potts for the second ODI against the West Indies in Cardiff after Jamie Overton was been ruled out of the white-ball series with a broken finger.

New England white-ball captain Harry Brook has been forced into one change following Thursday’s 238-run victory in the first ODI at Edgbaston following the news that Overton has withdrawn.

Durham pace bowler Potts will replace Overton on what will be his 10th ODI appearance for England, who go in search of a series-clinching victory with a game to spare in Cardiff, live on Sky Sports.

Overton dropped a sharp return catch from just his second delivery in the Windies’ reply to England’s 400-8 and immediately sprinted to the dressing room clutching his right hand while grimacing.

After some treatment, the fast bowling all-rounder returned and sent down five more overs, impressively claiming career-best ODI figures of 3-22, but he is now set for a short spell on the sidelines.

“Jamie Overton has been ruled out of the remaining Metro Bank one-day internationals and the Vitality IT20s against the West Indies due to a broken right little finger,” an ECB statement said.

England decided against drafting in a replacement for the last two ODIs or the three-match T20 series, despite the loss of Overton following injuries to Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson ahead of the series.

After Sunday’s second ODI against West Indies in Cardiff, England end the ODI series at The Kia Oval on June 3 (1pm) before the T20s take place in Durham (6.30pm on June 6), Bristol (2.30pm on June 8) and Southampton (6.30pm on June 10).
