Blow for England as Ollie Pope ruled out of Ashes with dislocated shoulder | Cricket News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Already trailing 0-2 in the series, England on Tuesday suffered a major blow as top-order batter and vice-captain Ollie Pope was ruled out of the rest of the Ashes series due to a dislocated shoulder. Pope suffered the injury during the second Test at Lord’s.
The England cricket board (ECB) said that Pope damaged his right shoulder while fielding and will undergo surgery.
The 25-year-old underwent scans on his shoulder that showed the need for a surgery, forcing him to the sidelines for the remainder of the 2023 campaign.
England are likely to replace vice-captain Pope with Dan Lawrence for the third Test starting on Thursday at Headingley.
Lawrence won the last of his 11 Test caps last March and has not played since Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes took charge of the side.
England have decided not to call up any additional batting cover.
“England and Surrey batter Ollie Pope has been ruled out of the rest of the Ashes series after dislocating his right shoulder during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s last week,” an England and Wales Cricket Boar statement said.
“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.”
