Gus Atkinson Out of Final Ashes Test with Hamstring Injury; England's Pace Woes Deepen

  • England pace bowler Gus Atkinson has been ruled out of the fifth and final Ashes Test in Sydney due to a hamstring injury.
  • Atkinson sustained the injury during the second morning of the Boxing Day Test, with scans confirming the issue in his left leg.
  • He joins star speedsters Mark Wood (knee) and Jofra Archer (side strain) on England's growing injury list for the series.
  • Matthew Potts (27) is expected to replace Atkinson, joining Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue in the attack.
  • Atkinson played in two earlier tests, was recalled for the Boxing Day Test, and took six wickets at 47.33.

Why It Matters: Gus Atkinson's hamstring injury further depletes England's pace attack for the final Ashes Test.
