Tongue ruled out of England Australia tour with toe injury

Summarised from 3 outlets · 5 reports · Updated 7 Nov, 14:43 · Archive

England fast bowler Josh Tongue has been ruled out of the white-ball tour of Australia due to a toe injury on his left foot. The 28-year-old sat out of England's warm-up match against Western Australia on Saturday and will return to the UK to undergo further assessment.

Tongue was included in England's ODI squad for the tour but not the T20 squad. There was no confirmation whether a replacement would be called up, though it seems unlikely at this late stage, with the first of three ODIs due to start on 13 November. Jamie Overton is also in the squad, providing cover for his withdrawal.

Tongue made his ODI debut earlier this year against India in Birmingham, taking 1-50 from ten overs. He has been selected in five ODI matches and most recently took 3-79 from 8.5 overs against Sri Lanka in the ODI Tri-Series.

In England's warm-up win, Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid made impressive returns. Archer claimed 3-34 from eight overs whilst Rashid took 4-35 from 7.3 overs as Western Australia were bowled out for 159, chasing England's 251 all out.
