England's white-ball squad has been dealt a blow with Jamie Overton ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series against West Indies, following confirmation of a fractured right little finger sustained during the first ODI at Edgbaston.
🩺 Injury Details
Incident: Occurred while attempting a return catch off Keacy Carty — his second delivery of the match.
Initial Diagnosis: Suspected dislocation
Confirmed: Fracture
Status: Ruled out of the series; no replacement named

Overton had to leave the field immediately but later returned with the finger strapped.
Remarkably, he delivered England’s best bowling figures:
3 for 22 in 5.2 overs, dismissing Chase, Forde, and Motie.
🗓️ Upcoming Fixtures
2nd ODI – Sunday in Cardiff
3rd ODI – Tuesday at Kia Oval
T20I Series begins Friday at Chester-le-Street
🧠 What It Means for England
Overton’s all-round capabilities will be missed, especially his middle-overs pace and lower-order hitting.
Expect more overs from England’s spin options or an opportunity for Potts or Wood to step up and impress in Overton’s absence.
