LONDON (AP) — England fast bowler Gus Atkinson was ruled out of the one-day international series against the West Indies with a right hamstring strain on Tuesday.
Atkinson was in clear discomfort during the closing stages of the innings victory over Zimbabwe in the one-off test at Trent Bridge last weekend, bowling only three overs on the final day.
After assessing the problem, England decided not to risk the 27-year-old pacer in Harry Brook’s first ODI series since taking over as white-ball captain.
“He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team," the England and Wales Cricket Board said of Atkinson.
