England paceman Craig Overton is out of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia with a fractured rib, officials said on Sunday.
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed he would not play in the Melbourne Test, starting on Boxing Day. Uncapped fast bowler Tom Curran will reportedly make his debut to replace him, although fellow speedster Mark Wood has trained with the team this week.
Overton, who made his Test debut in Adelaide this month, was diagnosed with a cracked rib during the third Test in Perth.
