England fast bowler Gus Atkinson has been ruled out of the fifth and final Ashes Test in Sydney due to a left hamstring injury sustained during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. He joins pace bowlers Mark Wood and Jofra Archer on the sidelines. England will not call up a replacement, with Matthew Potts and Matthew Fisher among those considered to fill the gap. Atkinson's performance in the series included six wickets at an average of 47.33.
