Jamie Overton has become the latest England seamer to be sidelined with a stress fracture of the back, with the 28-year-old now expected to miss the Ashes.
After not featuring in England's historic 3-0 series win over Pakistan in December, Overton travelled to the United Arab Emirates where he was due to feature for Gulf Giants in the inaugural edition of the ILT20.
However, he has since returned to the UK without playing a game and has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the lumbar spine. In a statement, Surrey did not put a timeframe on his rehabilitation, but it appears unlikely Overton will be back in time for the Ashes.
