THERE are two Somerset County Cricket Club players in the England squad for the fourth Ashes Test, with James Anderson’s injury opening up an opportunity for Craig Overton.
Seam bowler Overton - who played in the last Ashes series Down Under - joins Somerset team-mate (and new England cult hero) Jack Leach in the squad.
Anderson has been ruled out of the rest of the series, which stands at 1-1 going into the fourth Test at Old Trafford (September 4-8).
England squad: Joe Root (c), Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Jack Leach, Craig Overton, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes
