Not furious, I'm gutted: Foakes on not being considered for Ashes

England wicketkeeper-batter Ben Foakes, who wasn't included in their squad for the recently-concluded Ashes 2023, has said he's "gutted" over the management's decision to not consider him for the series. "There're no sour grapes, it's just a weird head space...you're where you want to be, performing, [but then] dropped," he said. Jonny Bairstow kept wickets for England in Ashes 2023.
