Jamie backs decision

- FROM DAVID CHARLESWORTH

JAMIE OVERTON has no regrets about taking an indefinite break from red-ball cricket as England's bid to regain the Ashes looms large on the horizon.

The fast bowling all-rounder featured in England's most recent Test against India at the Kia Oval in July before announcing his shock hiatus last month.

While he was odds-on to be in England's squad to face Australia, Overton cited concerns about the physical and mental exertions of playing all three formats as a major factor in his decision.
