Ashes 2023: England's Ollie Pope ruled out for remaining matches

What's the story

England batter Ollie Pope has been ruled out of the remaining Ashes 2023 matches after dislocating his right shoulder during the 2nd Test at Lord's.

It is understood that Pope underwent a scan for the same in London.

According to an ESPNcricinfo report, Pope will undergo surgery before beginning his rehabilitation.

Notably, the England batter has suffered this injury twice in the past.

Context

Why does this story matter?

Pope's shoulder got damaged while diving for a ball on Day 1 of the Lord's Test.

It got worse two days later as the umpires pushed him to take the field after batting in England's first innings.

Pope, a mainstay batter in England's line-up, is also their vice-captain in Test cricket.

England will miss his services at number three, going forward.

Statement

Pope is committed to the team: Jeetan Patel

Jeetan Patel, England's spin-bowling coach, highlighted the injury of Pope.

He said, "It's a pretty tough situation when you nearly bust your shoulder and you're told it was an external injury."

"It was always going to happen. He's so committed to this team. He was always going to fall on something. And now he's back off," added Patel.

As mentioned, Pope has been England's designated number three batter in Test cricket.

He made his Test debut in 2018 against India at Lord's.

In a career spanning nearly five years, Pope has racked up 2,136 runs from 38 Tests at an average of 34.45. The tally includes four centuries and 11 half-centuries.

Double-ton

Fastest Test double-ton in England

Pope slammed his maiden Test double-century in June this year. His knock of 205 came against Ireland in the one-off Test at Lord's.

This was also the fastest Test double-century in England. Pope reached the landmark in 207 balls, breaking Ian Botham's record of getting to the landmark in 220 balls.

England won the match by 10 wickets.

Replacement

Who will replace Pope?

England will have to find a suitable replacement for their number three slot.

Right-handed batter Daniel Lawrence could be a like-for-like replacement. He has represented England in 11 Tests and averages 29.00.

Lawrence has been in sublime form in domestic cricket, having slammed two tons for Essex.

It remains to be seen if the injured Moeen Ali returns to the mix.

Done!
