Atkinson was injured during the third innings of the England vs Zimbabwe one-off Test last month and bowled just three overs in Zimbabwe’s second innings.
The English pacer has been hoping to be fit for the Test series against India, but he is struggling to regain fitness, and now, according to the reports, Atkinson’s return might be delayed.
The England team wants their pacer to be fully fit before the five-Test match series. Sam Cook, Matthew Potts, and Josh Tongue will be the potential replacements for Atkinson in the Test series against India.
