England's Josh Tongue Ruled Out of Australia ODIs With Toe Injury
· Sports · ESPNCricinfo, BBC Sport
England fast bowler Josh Tongue has been ruled out of the ODI series against Australia and will return to the United Kingdom to have his big toe injury assessed. The right-arm seamer sustained the problem during England's tour of Australia, forcing him to miss the remaining matches. England have not yet named a replacement for the 26-year-old in the squad. The ODI series is part of England's white-ball tour of Australia ahead of the T20 World Cup. Tongue's absence leaves England's pace attack short of depth for the rest of the series.
Why it matters
England's bowling options are reduced for the rest of the Australia ODI series, which is key preparation for the T20 World Cup. The team will need another seamer to step up or a replacement to be called in quickly.
