Surrey all-rounder Jamie Overton has been added to the England Squad for the fifth test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, which is set to be played on July 31.

The return of Surrey paceman is the only change to the group from Old Trafford, after India drew the game at Manchester.

Ben Stokes’ side has been in a favourable position to secure a 3-1 lead in the series in the five-match series. Both were only able to take four wickets in India’s second innings, where India went on to score 425 runs in the second innings.

Stokes hinted ‘fresh legs’ might be needed among the bowlers for the fifth test. Woakes and Brydon Carse have both played all four matches so far, while Jofra Archer has featured in back-to-back tests following a four-year absence.

“England Men make one addition to the squad for the final Rothesay Test against India at the Kia Oval. The England Men’s selection panel has added Surrey all-rounder Jamie Overton to the squad for the Rothesay Fifth Test match against India at Kia Oval, starting on Thursday 31 July,” the ECB said in an official media release.

Overton who had his test cap in 2022, joins fellow seamers Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue in a 15-member squad pushing for a spot in the starting eleven.

Ton featured in the first two tests of the series and took 11 wickets but was expensive, while Atkinson has not played a first class match since England’s win against Zimbabwe in May.

Liam Dawson has retained as England’s frontline spinner despite taking just one wicket in Manchester across two innings.

The final match of the five match series will be played between July 31 and August 04 at The Oval.
