England have confirmed that Ollie Pope has been ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes series after suffering a shoulder injury.
The Surrey star picked up the issue when diving for a ball in the early part of the second test vs Australia at Lord’s. He did manage to bat in both innings, but was in the treatment room for England’s fielding effort during the 43-run defeat.
And in a statement released ahead of the Headingley test, England have confirmed Pope will play no further cricket this summer. The 25-year-old is now due to go under the knife and will aim to recover for the winter.
