England fast bowler Josh Tongue has been ruled out of the upcoming one-day international tour of Australia due to a toe injury. The Independent reported on Saturday that the 26-year-old will miss the series, dealing a blow to England's pace attack ahead of the matches Down Under.
The injury setback comes as England prepare for their limited-overs fixtures against Australia. Tongue, who has featured in Test and ODI cricket for England, was expected to be part of the touring squad. No immediate replacement has been announced by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
