England reshuffle squad for Pakistan Test series

Life after Ben Stokes begins with a reshuffle of England's Test squad. Ollie Pope, Dan Lawrence and Sam Cook have all been recalled for the three-match series against Pakistan, with Jordan Cox also returning to bat at No 3 following Jacob Bethell's injury.

Joe Root's first assignment back as permanent Test captain gets underway at Headingley on August 19. The 16-man squad presents selection challenges without Stokes as a genuine all-rounder, requiring Root to find a balanced XI for the series. albergomalica.it
