Jamie Overton ruled out of ENG vs WI series after suffering broken finger
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.
England can clinch its first ODI bilateral series win since September 2023 on Sunday in Cardiff. The third and last match is on Tuesday at the Oval.
A three-match T20 series begins next Friday.

Maxwell's decision to retire stems from his desire to concentrate on preparations for next year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, the domestic Big Bash League, and other international commitments. He admitted that he could no longer maintain peak performance in the ODI format. 'I felt like I was letting the team down a bit with how my body was reacting to the conditions. I had a good chat with George Bailey, the Chair of Selectors, and asked for his thoughts on the future," Maxwell stated on the Final Word Podcast. 'We discussed the 2027 World Cup, and I told him, 'I don't think I am going to make it. It's time to start planning for others to take my place and make it their own.' 'Hopefully, they get enough time to secure that role. I always said I wouldn't give up my position if I felt I was still good enough to play. I didn't want to hold on for a few more series for selfish reasons. The team is moving in a clear direction, so this gives them the best chance to plan for the next World Cup. I understand how crucial that planning is."

Australia's Glenn Maxwell announces ODI retirement: ‘I felt like I was letting the team down…'
Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell announced his retirement from ODI cricket on Monday, calling time on an illustrious 13-year career for the national side in the 50-over format. The 36-year-old Maxwell said he had made up his mind to retire from the format during Australia's Champions Trophy 2025 campaign that eventually ended with a semi-final exit following a loss to India in Dubai. Maxwell, who first played for Australia in international cricket in an ODI in 2012, was part of the World Cup-winning teams in 2015 and 2023. Maxwell revealed that he had a chat with Australia's selection committee chair and former teammate George Bailey during the Champions Trophy about his decision. Maxwell, who endured a torrid time in the ongoing IPL 2025 season with the Punjab Kings before being ruled out with an injury, said that he believed he let the team down in his middle-order role during the 50-overs tournament in Pakistan and the UAE. 'I said to him (Bailey) right then and there, 'I don't think I'm going to make that',' the two-time ODI World Cup winner told the Final Word podcast. 'I think it's time to start planning for people in my position, to have a crack at it and try and make that spot their own for the for the 2027 World Cup. Hopefully, they get enough of a lead-in where they can have success in that role.' 'My decision to retire from one-day international cricket was probably more on the back of the first couple of games in the Champions Trophy,' he said. Maxwell joins Marcus Stoinis and Steve Smith in announcing their retirements from ODIs after his compatriots stepped down on either side of the Champions Trophy. However, Maxwell will remain available for selection in T20s. 'I felt like I gave myself a really good opportunity to be fit and ready for those games. The first game in Lahore, we played on a rock-hard outfield. Post that game I was pretty sore. 'We were lucky enough to have a washout against South Africa, where I had a bit more time to have a bit of rest and get myself ready for the next game. 'I started to (realise) that if I don't have the perfect conditions in 50-over cricket, my body just struggles to get through that. It feels like it's a tiring affair just to get through – and almost surviving – the 50 overs, let alone being at my best throughout that 50 overs, and then going out there and trying to perform with the bat as well. 'I felt like I was letting the team down a little bit with how my body was reacting to the conditions,' Maxwell revealed. Maxwell steps away from the format as the batter with the highest strike rate among all ODI players to have recorded at least 2000 runs, holding a stunning 126.70 strike rate in his career. Maxwell's mercurial feats were best exemplified by his jaw-dropping 201 not out against Afghanistan at the 2023 World Cup battling cramps. 'This was a moment, like Steve Waugh's Ashes ton on the last ball of the day, or Michael Bevan's final four to beat the Windies. One of those events that makes you ask 'Where were you when…',' Maxwell wrote in his 2024 book, The Showman. 'It was crazy to think that I now had one of these, a moment when Australia was all on board.'
