England Rest Gus Atkinson For Australia ODIs, Olly Stone Named Replacement
Wales Cricket Board: England have rested pacer Gus Atkinson for the five-match ODI series against Australia later this month. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has taken the decision to manage the pacer's workload after he ended up leading the pace attack in six Tests against West Indies and Sri Lanka.
Atkinson, who made his debut in July against the Windies at Lord's, finished with a tally of 34 wickets in six Tests. He along with Chris Woakes featured in all six back-to-back Tests for England this summer.
During the latter stages of the Sri Lanka series, there were indications that Atkinson's pace had decreased over the course of the summer. He also spent some time off the field on day three at The Oval due to a tight quad. However, he was declared fit enough to bowl 11 overs in the fourth innings, where he claimed one of the two Sri Lankan wickets to fall.
