England Adds Jamie Overton to Squad for Decisive Fifth Test Against India
Hard to chew. Probably not worth the jaw work.
Summary
England has called up fast-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton for the decisive fifth Test against India at The Oval. Overton, who has played only one first-class match since May due to a finger injury, replaces the injured Gus Atkinson. Atkinson, who had a stellar debut year in Test cricket, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the one-off Test against Zimbabwe.
