England pacer Gus Atkinson has been ruled out of the three-match home ODI series against West Indies, scheduled to run from May 29 to June 3.
According to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Atkinson sustained a hamstring injury during their one-off Test against Zimbabwe, which concluded on Saturday in Nottingham.
The 27-year-old, as a result, will undergo rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team, while no time frame was shared by the cricket board for his recovery.
"England and Surrey seamer Gus Atkinson has been ruled out of the upcoming Metro Bank One-Day Internationals against the West Indies due to a right hamstring strain," the ECB said in a statement.
"Atkinson sustained the injury during England's Rothesay Test victory over Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge last week.
"He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team."
Notably, the home side decided against making any changes to their squad for the ODI series against West Indies.
The aforementioned series holds significant importance for the former world champions as it will be the first assignment of newly-appointed captain Harry Brook, who succeeded Jos Buttler, stepped down from the role after England lost all three of their ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 group-stage matches.
The ODI series will be followed by three T20Is, slated to be played on June 6, 8 and 10 respectively.
England squad for West Indies ODIs: Harry Brook (Yorkshire) – Captain, Jofra Archer (Sussex), Tom Banton (Somerset), Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Brydon Carse (Durham), Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire), Tom Hartley (Lancashire), Will Jacks (Surrey), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Matthew Potts (Durham), Jamie Overton (Somerset), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire) and Jamie Smith (Surrey).

India's Sudharsan ready to bat anywhere after ‘surreal' Test call-up
NEW DELHI: Sai Sudharsan finds it 'surreal' to be included in India's Test squad for the team's tour of England next month and is ready to bat anywhere in the line-up, the 23-year-old said. As India begins a fresh World Test Championship cycle with a five-Test series in England under new captain Shubman Gill, Sudharsan is likely to reinforce a top order depleted by the retirements of batting stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. 'It feels very special to be honest, and surreal,' Sudharsan said after being included in the team on Saturday. 'Any young cricketer who starts playing cricket, wants to play Test cricket, wants to play for the country. The ultimate goal is always to play Test cricket. So really happy for that.' Sudharsan is Gill's opening partner at Gujarat Titans and is the leading scorer in the ongoing Indian Premier League. Sudharsan opens for his state team but has batted in the middle order for Surrey in county cricket. 'I think playing for the country itself is a very big privilege for a cricketer. So I don't think I am in a position to choose where I want to play,' he said. 'I think I will have to be ready for whichever (position) the team gives me. I will be ready for that.' India name Shubman Gill as new Test captain before England series Gill inherited the India captaincy at 25, but Sudharsan had no doubts his Gujarat teammate would shine in the job. 'I have been a part of his growth as well,' Sudharsan said. 'I have seen him for the last four years. Such a talented batsman, such a skilful batsman, anybody can see. 'So I feel he will definitely win laurels and great things for the country.'
