England Test Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter X) Just days after the completion of the recent three-match Test series against Sri Lanka, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced a 17-member squad for the tour of Pakistan. England’s tour will begin with the first match on October 7, 2024. So in this England team, 33-year-old experienced spinner Jack Leach has returned to the team, who has been out of the England cricket team for a long time. Let us tell you that Leach played his last Test match against India in Hyderabad in January. After this, he was continuously out of the team, but now he has been successful in making a comeback in the team. Apart from this, this team includes most of the same players who have been included in the team against Sri Lanka. However, uncapped Durham bowling all-rounder Brydon Carse and Essex wicketkeeper batsman Jordan Cox have also managed to make it to the 17-member team. Also, this team includes 8 such players who were part of the England team that toured Pakistan in 2022. At that time, England had won the Test series 3-0 by sweeping Pakistan in its own home. So now England will tour Pakistan this time with similar expectations. England’s full squad for the three-match Test series against Pakistan Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jordan Cox, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Brydon Curse, Josh Hall, Matthew Potts, Gus Atkinson, Ollie Stone, Chris Woakes, Rehan Ahmed, Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir.
