England have been forced to re-shuffle their fast bowling stocks for their upcoming white-ball series against the West Indies following an injury at training to Josh Tongue.
Tongue was injured during a training camp with the England Lions in the UAE and will be sidelined for the three-match ODI series in the Caribbean next month and the five-game T20I series that follows, reports ICC.
Inexperienced right-armer Matthew Potts has been called up for Tongue for the ODI component of the series, while no replacement has been named for the T20Is.

Potts has played three ODI matches for England, with his most recent appearance coming against Ireland in Bristol just prior to the commencement of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
While Tongue has played two Test matches for his country, he is yet to make his white-ball debut and had been keen to impress after England missed out on reaching the knockout stages of the recent 50-over World Cup in India.
