The England team had announced a squad of 17 members for the Pakistan tour next month. Under the captaincy of Ben Stokes, head coach Brendon McCullum had decided to take 6 feet 7 inches tall left arm fast bowler Josh Hull on this tour. However, now he has been ruled out of Pakistan tour due to quad injury. This has dealt a big blow to the England team. At the same time, Pakistan would have got a sigh of relief. Because Hull has managed to make a place in the England Test team at the age of just 20. He is of tall height and has the ability to bowl the ball with his left hand at an accurate line-length at a speed of more than 140 kilometers per hour. This quality of theirs makes them dangerous. That's why England gave him a chance in place of veteran bowler Mark Wood.

Injured during Sri Lanka series

Josh Hull made his Test debut at The Oval during the Sri Lanka Test series. He became a victim of injury in his debut match itself. After this he was sent for recovery. It was expected that he would be fit by the Pakistan tour. But according to the latest updates, it may take some time for Hull to recover from his injury. That's why first he had to be out of Australia and now Pakistan series.

In the debut match against Sri Lanka, Hull took 3 wickets for 53 runs in 11 overs in the first innings. In the second innings, he bowled 6 overs but could not take any wicket. Hull's career is still very short. So far he has played 11 First Class, 9 List A and 21 T20 matches, in which he has taken a total of 63 wickets.

Pakistan was in bad shape

The England team will be touring Pakistan for the second time in the last two years. Earlier in 2022, this team led by Ben Stokes had gone to Pakistan after a long gap of 17 years. Then this team had created a bad situation for Pakistan. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the Pakistani team lost the Test series 3-0. Although, this time Shan Masood is the captain of the Test team, but recently under his leadership the team got a clean sweep of 2-0 at the hands of Bangladesh. Therefore, Pakistan is afraid of defeat again.

When is the competition?

The Test series between England and Pakistan will start from October 7. The second test will be played from 15th October and the last match will start from 24th October. These three matches will be played in Multan and Rawalpindi. However, it is not clear which match will be held in which stadium.
