England have drafted in Matthew Potts for the second ODI against the West Indies in Cardiff after Jamie Overton was been ruled out of the white-ball series with a broken finger.
New England white-ball captain Harry Brook has been forced into one change following Thursday’s 238-run victory in the first ODI at Edgbaston following the news that Overton has withdrawn.
Durham pace bowler Potts will replace Overton on what will be his 10th ODI appearance for England, who go in search of a series-clinching victory with a game to spare in Cardiff, live on Sky Sports.

“Jamie Overton has been ruled out of the remaining Metro Bank one-day internationals and the Vitality IT20s against the West Indies due to a broken right little finger,” an ECB statement said.
England decided against drafting in a replacement for the last two ODIs or the three-match T20 series, despite the loss of Overton following injuries to Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson ahead of the series.
