Jamie Overton Likely To Miss The Ashes 2023 After Stress Fracture
Jamie Overton has been ruled out of this summer's Ashes.
Jamie Overton, the Surrey and England fast bowler, has been ruled out of this summer’s Ashes after reportedly suffering from a lumbar stress fracture.
Overton wasn’t part of English’s historic 3-0 series win over Pakistan in December as he travelled to the United Arab Emirates to ply his service to Gulf Giants in the ongoing ILT20.
However, he couldn’t feature in a single game and returned to England, and has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the lumbar spine.
Surrey’s statement:
“Jamie, who had been in the UAE, has returned to the UK and further investigations have … revealed that he has sustained a stress fracture of the lumbar spine. He will now begin a period of rehabilitation.”
