Gus Atkinson will miss the final of the men’s Hundred as the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has made him unavailable for the match to prepare for England’s Test against Sri Lanka, starting on Wednesday.

Atkinson, who impressed in his debut series against the West Indies by taking 22 wickets and being named Player of the Series, has only played one match for Oval Invincibles this season, where he recorded figures of 0 for 28 in 10 balls against Trent Rockets. He will not participate in Sunday's final at Lord's as he focuses on the Test series.
