Yeh chot usse Surrey ke saath domestic cricket khelte waqt lagi. 30 saal ka yeh all-rounder, jo tezz bowling aur batting dono mein dum rakhta hai, is series mein bada role ada karne wala tha, jisme teen ODI aur paanch T20I hain, jo November 2025 mein Caribbean mein shuru honge.
Overton ko abhi squad mein kisi aur se replace nahi kiya gaya. ECB ne kaha ki woh apni medical team ke saath rehab karega taaki poori tarah se fit ho sake. Uski wapas aane ki koi pakki date nahi di gayi, lekin ungli tootne mein aam taur par kai hafte lagte hain, chot kitni serious hai aur surgery hui ya nahi ispe depend karta hai.
Yeh chot Overton ke liye ek aur jhatka hai, kyunki pehle bhi injuries ne uske international career ko baar-baar rok diya hai. 2022 mein T20I debut ke baad usne England ke liye che match khele, aakhri baar March 2023 mein Bangladesh ke khilaaf. Uski 85 mph se upar ki tezz bowling aur lower-order batting ki wajah se woh team ke liye bada asset tha. Uska na hona England ke bowling attack mein ek khali jagah chhod deta hai, khas kar T20I mein, jahan uski powerplay aur death-overs bowling game changer ho sakti thi.
ECB ne abhi tak replace na karne ka faisla kiya hai, shayad woh series ke kareeb aake squad ka balance dekhenge ya existing players pe bharosa karenge. Saqib Mahmood, Reece Topley ya uncapped players jaise John Turner ko zyada zimmedari mil sakti hai. Jos Buttler ki captaincy wali team West Indies ke khilaaf tough tour ke liye tayyari kar rahi hai, jahan unka home ground aur T20 ka joshila setup challenge dega.
Series ki shuruaat ODIs se hogi November 6, 8 aur 11 ko, uske baad T20I honge 14 se 22 November tak. Overton ka focus ab recovery pe hoga, taki woh aage ke matches, shayad 2026 T20 World Cup ke liye wapas aaye. ECB se uski progress pe aur updates aane ki ummeed hai.
