England pacer Gus Atkinson has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against the West Indies.
In a statement on Tuesday, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that the pacer would miss the upcoming ODI series against West Indies after suffering a hamstring strain in their Test win over Zimbabwe last week.
“[Gus] Atkinson sustained the injury during England’s test victory over Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge last week… No replacement will be added to the ODI squad,” the ECB statement said.
England will play three ODIs and three T20Is against the West Indies between May 29 and June 10.
The upcoming series will be the first assignment for the new England white-ball captain Harry Brook.
