England gun pace Gus Atkinson is set to miss The Hundred 2024 final for the Oval Invincibles after being pulled out by England Cricket Board (ECB). Previously they also pulled out Chris Woakes from The Hundred for the upcoming three-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starts from August 21.

Gus Atkinson featured Oval Invincibles for only one game in The Hundred this season. 
Atkinson featured only in one game for Oval Invincibles this season, conceding 28 runs off his 10 deliveries and remained wicketless. The Oval Invincibles skipper Sam Billings said :

"Gus has been withdrawn, which is quite understandable. It's disappointing for him but Saqib Mahmood has been phenomenal for us all tournament and showed his class the other night. He'll stay in the side."

However, Billings confirmed that Jordan Cox will play the Final.

"Jordan will be available and I think that's great for him. I've been in that position before where as a young player, you get withdrawn and miss out on playing time. For anyone to play in a final at Lord's in the leading domestic competition in the country, in front of a packed house is perfect preparation for international cricket," stated Billings.

England team was facing injury cloud as recently Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the entire English summer due to injury. Also Zak Crawley and Dillon Pennington were ruled out due to right finger and hamstring injuries, respectively. Due to the injury concerns, the ECB chose a conservative way to keep Gus Atkinson fresh for the upcoming Test series.

The Englishmen are coming fresh after clean sweeping the West Indies by 3-0.
