Josh Tongue Ruled Out of White-Ball Tour as Adil Rashid Stars in Warm-Up
- England fast bowler Josh Tongue is ruled out of the white-ball tour of Australia due to a left big toe injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed on Saturday.
- Tongue arrived in Perth earlier this week but did not feature in England's 92-run practice match win over Western Australia on Saturday, ending his tour participation.
- With 46 wickets in 17 matches this year, Tongue has played 15 Tests, five ODIs, and five T20Is; no recovery timeline has been set.
- England's ODI series opener is scheduled for next Friday at Optus Stadium, with the team now navigating the tour without Tongue's fast-bowling capability.
- Coach Brendon McCullum described Bethell as "a very strong leader within our group across all formats," though he remains an outside chance for the opener.
