  "account": "Josh Tongue has been ruled out of England's upcoming tour of Australia due to a toe injury, causing a significant blow to the seam bowling department. The news was confirmed by England Cricket on their official X account, with a heartwarming message wishing Tongue well. Tongue, who was included in the one-day squad for the tour, will return to the UK to undergo further assessment following the conclusion of the ODI series. No replacement has been confirmed to join the squad, making it unlikely at this late stage. Tongue was part of the squads for both the ODIs and T20s, which were announced three weeks ago. Despite his injury, Jamie Overton remains included in the squad, ensuring sufficient cover for the tour.",
