Ashes series: English selectors name Garton as Ball's cover
London, Nov 11 (IBNS): England Lions and Sussex left-arm seamer George Garton has been called by English selectors as a cover for injured seamer Jake Ball for the warm-up match starting in Townsville on Nov 15.
"England seamer Jake Ball is a doubt for England’s next warm-up match starting in Townsville on Wednesday 15 November after scans revealed that he has sustained a right ankle ligament strain during day two of the four-day tour match against a Cricket Australia XI at the Adelaide Oval," read a statement issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board website.
The board further said the England medical team will assess the injury over the next seven days and he will play no further part in the Adelaide match.
The first Ashes Test series will commence from Nov 23.
