England suffer major setback ahead of Pakistan Tests

Leicestershire pacer Josh Hull has been ruled out of the England squad for the three-match away Test series against Pakistan, scheduled to commence on October 7.

According to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Hull suffered a quad injury, which would keep him out of the Pakistan tour.

“Josh Hull has been ruled out of our Test tour of Pakistan due to a quad injury,” said ECB in a brief statement on social media.

The 20-year-old pacer made his Test debut for England earlier this month in the third Test of the three-match series against Sri Lanka.

The towering 6ft 7in tall pacer picked up three wickets in the aforementioned Test before getting ruled out of the ongoing white-ball series against Australia.

Notably, England have decided not to call for a replacement.

Hull was one of the six pacers named in England’s 17-member squad for the Pakistan tour but now joins injured Mark Wood and Josh Tongue on the sideline.

Josh Hull’s injury further complicates England’s pace attack as their captain Ben Stokes, despite being “on track” to participate in the series, is doubtful to bowl.

“I think that’s you getting ahead of yourself. Obviously I’ve been six-and-a-half weeks now of just walking and doing stuff in the gym,” said Stokes in response to a question regarding the chances of him bowling in the Pakistan Tests.

“There’s a lot more than just my hamstring that I need to get back firing and working up again in terms of bowling, because you use everything, so I need to get that all right to make sure I don’t do any damage to other parts of my body,” he added.

England squad for Pakistan Test series: Ben Stokes (C), Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes.

England name 6ft 7in tall pacer in Playing XI for third Sri Lanka Test

LONDON: Leicestershire pacer Josh Hull will make his Test debut for England as he was named in the home side’s Playing XI for the third Test of the ongoing three-match series against Sri Lanka.

Hull, who was added to England’s squad ahead of the second Test against Sri Lanka, will make his international debut on Friday.

Josh Hull will replace Matthew Motts in the hosts’ lineup, who lead the three-match series 2-0.

The 6ft 7in left-arm pacer managed to take only 11 wickets in his nine appearances at the County Championship but his physical attributes drew the attention of England’s management, who presumably believed that his towering height would provide him with an extra bounce.

Josh Hull made his debut for the England Lions last month and returned match figures of 5 for 74 in the Tour Match against Sri Lanka.

Furthermore, Hull has also been named in England’s white-ball squad for the home series against Australia but his availability for the T20I series opener at The Oval on September 11 is in jeopardy, considering a tight 24-hour difference between the commencement of the third Test and the first T20I.

Ollie Pope, who is serving as the interim captain in the absence of injured Ben Stokes, stated that Josh Hull could be “the point of difference” for England in the third Test against Sri Lanka.

“When you’re 6ft 7in and you can get it down pushing up to the 85-90mph mark, and with a bit of swing with the left-arm angle, there’s a lot to like about it,” Pope said. “It’s a really exciting week for him,” said Pope.

“With the height, you can draw in some more edges with that extra bounce,” he explained. “It makes it a lot harder to drive the ball, especially if there is a little bit of bounce at The Oval – which there can be, especially early in the game.

“And then the angle… We’ve played four right-arm seamers for the first two games, so it’s just something different for the batters to think about in the opposition, with the ball coming into the right-hander, and obviously away from the left-hander, with that swing. It’s a point of difference, and he’s got some good pace as well when he’s clicking in the nets.”

England’s Playing XI for third Test against Sri Lanka: Dan Lawrence, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope (capt), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Olly Stone, Josh Hull, Shoaib Bashir.
