Gus Atkinson got rest australia ODI series & Olly Stone back in Squad
England have withdrawn Gus Atkinson from their 50-over squad to face Australia later this month, as they look to manage his workload after a summer in which he put himself in the first rank of quick bowlers for the Test side.
Atkinson made his presentation in July, taking 12 wickets in the match against West Indies at Ruler's, en route to a take of 34 wickets in six Tests. He and Chris Woakes were the always present seamers through series against West Indies and Sri Lanka, which both comprised of consecutive to-back Tests.
There were signs during the last option phases of the Sri Lanka series that Atkinson's speed had dropped off through the course of the late spring, and he invested energy off the field on day three at The Oval with a tight quad - despite the fact that he was considered sufficiently fit to bowl 11 overs in the fourth innings, taking one of the two Sri Lanka wickets to fall.
The Britain the board have now picked to rest him for their five ODIs against Australia, with Olly Stone joining the crew in his place.
Britain are because of movement to Pakistan toward the finish of the September, in front of a three-Test visit, and afterward go to New Zealand in November for three-more Tests. They will as of now be without Imprint Wood, who was precluded until the end of the year by an elbow injury, and have been attempting to reshape the crease assault this late spring after the retirements of Stuart Wide and James Anderson.
"I believe he's alright," Britain's substitute Test commander, Ollie Pope, said of Atkinson. "He's clearly two or three weeks off now to revive and push ahead. He's ready to put his feet up now, yet I think the manner in which he bowled today and simply talking to him, he really feels like it feels preferred today over it did when he originally felt it so that is a good for us. Fingers crossed he's great overall."
The short circle back until Britain start their colder time of year visiting responsibilities in Pakistan, as well as a timetable that will see them play six additional Tests before Christmas - with a white-ball outing to the Caribbean in the middle between - implies player the board will be at the very front of the ECB's reasoning. Beside Stone, five players who were involved against Sri Lanka are likewise in the ODI crew: Harry Stream, Ben Duckett, Josh Frame, Matt Potts and Jamie Smith.
Pope was sure there would be no issues persuading the side for Pakistan, where Ben Stirs up is expecting to be adequately fit to continue obligations as commander.
"Clearly according to a batting perspective it's different to the quick bowlers, however I think they'll two or three weeks off to revive and get appropriate for that," Pope said. "Also, I think pulling a Britain shirt on is the best honor, so I don't think there should be significantly more inspiration.
"We love visiting collectively and everything's an especially intriguing test. So I think starting there of view, that is fine. I know it's a short circle back, yet I think us collectively, we love each piece in a Britain shirt whenever we get the chance to pull it on. So that won't be an issue getting up for that. There'll be a ton of energy come the time back to Pakistan."
