Adelaide, Nov 11 (CRICKETNMORE): The England selectors on Saturday called up uncapped left-arm pacer George Garton as a cover for injured Jake Ball for the team's final warm-up match in Townsville ahead of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane.

Ball suffered an ankle injury after falling awkwardly just four overs into his opening spell on Thursday, the second day of the ongoing four-day tour match against a Cricket Australia XI here.
