Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy: England add Jamie Overton to squad for 5th Test

London: England have added all-rounder Jamie Overton to the squad for the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, starting on Thursday at The Oval. After an exhausting five-day Test at Old Trafford, where England bowlers were made to toil for over 250 overs, the team has added Overton to the squad. The decision comes with just a three-day turnaround before the series decider, as the management looks to manage the wear and tear on the bowling unit. The 31-year-old will provide valuable depth if the side decides to change its playing XI. Overton made his Test debut in July 2022, in the third Test against New Zealand at Headingley, and has not made another appearance in the whites since. He joins Gus Atkinson as a potential fresh bowling option in the squad. IANS
