England's Overton out of West Indies series due to broken finger
May 31 (Reuters) - England all-rounder Jamie Overton will miss the rest of the home series against West Indies after breaking his right little finger, on his bowling arm, during the first One-Day International at Edgbaston, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Saturday.
The 31-year-old, who suffered the injury on Thursday when he tried to take a catch while bowling, left the field for treatment but returned to finish the game with his finger heavily wrapped. He took three wickets as England won by 238 runs.
"He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team. No replacement will be added to the ODI squad," the ECB said in a statement.
Matthew Potts will replace Overton in the England team when they face West Indies in the second of their three ODIs on Sunday, with three Twenty20 matches also scheduled from Friday.

Premier League star wows thousands of fans as he plays guitar on stage with the Kaiser Chiefs at huge anniversary gig
THE Kaiser Chiefs pulled off the loan transfer coup of the summer - in front of thousands of delirious fans. Leeds ' promotion-winning striker Patrick Bamford joined the rockers' homecoming gig on stage with a guitar. 4 4 4 Kalvin Phillips heightened talk of a return to Elland Road by labelling his former team-mate a "legend" for his cameo. Bamford electrified the atmosphere at Leeds' Temple Newsam still further as the crowd loved his surprise cameo. The Kaiser Chiefs are best known for their massive hit I Predict a Riot. which was also the theme tune for the Whites' party after Championship title glory. But no-one predicted Bamford's appearance at the gig on the 20th anniversary of the group's first album. The 31-year-old, who won a single England cap four years ago, also went down memory lane - or Elland Road - with his choice of shirt for the event. He wore a Leeds top from 2000-01 with 'Viduka 9' on the back. Ex-frontman Mark Viduka, 49, had his longest spell in English football with the Whites - from 2000-2004. And he too reacted to Bamford's guitar-playing cameo. 4 But it's just possible Viduka was referring to the hitman's kit rather than his musical ability as the Aussie posted: "What a privilege." Bamford's effort was all the more remarkable as it followed Leeds' prolonged celebrations, including a trip to Vegas, after they pipped Burnley to the second-tier crown. Inside Leeds stars' wild title celebrations as Bamford and Ampadu 'leave Burnley fanbase in meltdown' with karaoke song Daniel Farke's side are returning to the Premier League after two seasons out. And many reckon Phillips will be making his own comeback - to Elland Road. The 29-year-old has had a dire three years away after joining Manchester City, typified by injury and then mediocre loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich. Phillips bigged up Bamford on Instagram as he responded to the star's rocking intervention by posting: "What an absolute legend". That's also the status Phillips had at his hometown club Leeds. But the anchorman he could be out for two months following surgery on an Achilles problem. And for now Wham Bam is the man - thanks to the Chiefs. One fan raved: "Crowd were amazing and a lot of fun was had! Cameo performance from P Bamford an absolute highlight!!' Another wrote: "Great day out at what was a mini-festival more than a gig. Kaiser Chiefs were amazing, bringing Patrick Bamford and the Championship trophy out on stage added to a very Leeds-centric gig (so many LUFC shirts there)."
