Craig Overton is in contention to make England's Ashes squad, according to Sky sources.

The Somerset all-rounder has never featured at Test level but was named in England's T20 squad for the summer series against South Africa.

Surrey wicket-keeper Ben Foakes, Sam Billings and Gary Ballance are also believed to be under consideration ahead of Wednesday's announcement, at The Oval, ahead of the fourth one-day international against Windies, live on Sky Sports Cricket.
