Surrey’s Jamie Overton returns to the England Test squad for the opening Rothesay Test match against India at Headingley, alongside Ollie Pope and Jamie Smith
Surrey bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton returns to the Test set-up for the first time since earning his sole cap against New Zealand at Headingley in June 2022. The 31-year-old sustained a broken right little finger during the ODI against the West Indies on 29 May but continues to be assessed and reviewed daily by the Surrey and England medical team.
Surrey’s Gus Atkinson was unavailable for selection due to a right hamstring injury sustained during the recent Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge.
The eagerly anticipated five-match series gets underway at Headingley on Friday 20 June and culminates at the Kia Oval at the end of July. General Admission tickets for the final Test are sold out, with only hospitality tickets remaining.
Durham seamer Brydon Carse and the Warwickshire pair Jacob Bethell and Chris Woakes are included in the squad, having last featured during the Test tour of New Zealand in December.
Sai Sudharsan has been called up to the India Test squad for the first time in his career. The left-handed batter, who has made five first class appearances for Surrey since 2023, was awarded the IPL’s Orange Cap this week for scoring the most runs (759) at the tournament.
