England batter Ollie Pope ruled out of Ashes

LONDON: England batter Ollie Pope was on Tuesday ruled out of the rest of the Men’s Ashes 2023 Test series due to a shoulder injury. According to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Pope dislocated his right shoulder during the second Test last week and he will require surgery.

“Scans in London on Monday revealed the full extent of the injury and he will miss the rest of the summer campaign and will require surgery. He will work closely with the England and Surrey medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation,” the ECB said in a statement.

Pope sustained the while fielding on Day 1 of the second Test at Lord’s. He made a diving stop to a shot played by Marnus Labuschagne off Josh Tongue in the 28th over and was seen clutching his shoulder immediately. IANS
