England all-rounder Jamie Overton has been ruled out of the remaining ODI and upcoming T20I series against West Indies due to injury.

The Surrey man will play no part in the last two of the three-match ODI series against the Windies, as well as the trio of 20-over internationals that follow.

Overton sustained a broken little finger on his right hand during Tuesday's emphatic 238-run victory at Edgbaston.

The 31-year-old played a starring role with the ball in that win, leading with 3-22 after dismissing Roston Chase, Matthew Forde and Gudakesh Motie in the middle overs.

Overton's career-best ODI figures were made more impressive considering he left the field after dropping a sharp return catch from just his second delivery, before returning to claim the three Windies scalps.

"He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team," the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Saturday.

England will not draft a replacement for the last two ODIs at Cardiff on Sunday, prior to Tuesday's final match at the Oval, or the three-match T20I series that starts on Friday in Durham.

Overton joins a growing list of pace-bowling absentees, with injuries to Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson already seeing them withdraw from the squad ahead of the ODI series.

Saqib Mahmood, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts and Luke Wood are England바카라™s remaining pace options as Harry Brook looks to double down on his opening success as white-ball captain.
