England's bowling all-rounder ruled out of West Indies ODIs
England's Jamie Overton who featured in the first ODI of the West Indies series, has been ruled out of the remaining fixtures.
Overton will miss the remainder of the West Indies ODIs due to a broken right little finger.
The all-rounder sustained the injury during England’s first ODI victory at Edgbaston on Thursday. Overton had scored a solitary run with the bat before picking three wickets during the West Indies innings. Playing in just his sixth ODI, Overton's 3/22 were his best bowling figures in the format to date.
England scored 400/8 before winning the game by 238 runs as the tourists were bundled out in the 27th over.

Overton will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team. No replacement will be added to the ODI squad.
England v West Indies ODI series:
2nd ODI: Cardiff, June 1
3rd ODI: The Oval, June 3
The two sides will also feature in a three-game T20I series following the conclusion of the ODI contests. This injury compounds England's concerns, as the side are already without Gus Atkinson who picked up an injury in the one-off Test against Zimbabwe.
