England are already a bowler down. Jamie Overton is unlikely to be part of the Ashes after he became the latest quick to suffer from the curse of back stress fractures.
Matt Potts is on the New Zealand tour and was the best bowler in the warm-up game last week. He will feature in Stokes’ Ashes plans,as could Chris Woakes. He might not be considered for overseas Tests any more but he remains as effective as Anderson and Broad with the Dukes ball in England.
