Jamie Overton has been ruled out of England's remaining one-day internationals and T20 matches against the West Indies because of a broken finger sustained in Thursday's ODI series opener. The right-arm fast-bowling all-rounder broke his right little finger while trying to make a return catch early in England's 238-run victory at Edgbaston. Overton had grasped his hand and immediately jogged into the dressing room. After some treatment, he returned and finished with 3-22. He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team, England Cricket said in a statement on Saturday. No replacement will be added to the ODI squad.

"They haven't been in the cricket world for so long as maybe some other teams around the world, but just their fighting spirit. To me, the ability to learn as the years go by, that would have given them the experience that's needed in order for them to be where they're at," he said in a virtual interaction. When y
