England fast bowler Jamie Overton has ruled himself out of the upcoming Ashes series in November 2025. This follows his indefinite break from red-ball cricket. The 31-year-old shared that the demands of Test cricket have become too much for him to commit to.

In an X (Twitter) post, Jamie mentioned that the year-round schedule in all formats took a toll on both his body and mind. By stepping back from Tests, he aims to focus on white-ball cricket. ‘…I will continue to give everything to play at the highest level for as long as I can,�?he remarked.

His decision comes as a surprise, even to some of his England teammates. Captain Harry Brook shared, ‘It is a little bit of a shock to be honest…I thought he did well in the last Test match at The Oval.�?nbsp;

Though missing out on the Ashes, Jamie will still play in Australia with the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League.
