England drop batter Dan Lawrence for the tour of Pakistan and include uncapped pair Jordan Cox and Brydon Carse in a 17-man squad.
England have dropped batter Dan Lawrence for the tour of Pakistan and included uncapped pair Jordan Cox and Brydon Carse in a 17-man squad.
But in six innings his highest score was 35 and that came in a skittish, almost slogging, effort in the second innings of the final Test, which England lost on Monday. In all, there are six frontline seamers chosen, including 20-year-old left-armer Josh Hull following his debut against Sri Lanka in the third Test at The Oval.
The inflated number of seamers could be down to fitness doubts over Stokes and Atkinson, the latter struggling with a thigh problem.However, building work in Karachi is likely to leave that stadium unavailable, and a new schedule is due to be announced this week.
