England Allrounder Jamie Overton outside the ash dispute after waiting for the Red-Ball race
Leeds, England (AP)-the SUV of England, Jamie Overton, has moved away from the dispute for the Ashes series this winter, a sudden movement announced on Monday that took the limited captain of the country by surprise.
The rhythm bowling player won his second test limit against India in the Oval last month and had a great opportunity to present in the team for the trip to Australia. But Overton has decided to take an indefinite rest of the red ball cryket.

The selectors must search another place after sharing their decision to focus exclusively on white ball opportunities.
“After a great thought, I have decided to take an indefinite rest of the red ball cryket,” Overton published on social networks.
“At this stage of my career, with the demands of Cricket in a 12 -month calendar, it is no longer possible to commit completely to all formats at all levels, both physically and mentally.”
Overton did not stop in declaring his first -class cryket retirement, but, at the age of 31, he seems unlikely to return to the test.
The captain of the white ball of England, Harry Brook, speaking before the first hate against South Africa in Headingley on Tuesday, said he was “a little surprised to be honest.”

“I heard rumors, but I hadn’t heard it until today,” Brook said.
“You just have to respect the decision and obviously he does not feel that he wants to play the red ball cryket at the time and we cannot do anything about it. He is unfortunate, I thought he did really well in that last trial game and it would have been good to have him there in the ashes.”
