England has announced its playing XI for the third Test against Sri Lanka to be played at Kennington Oval from September 6. England has included young fast bowler Josh Hull in this playing XI. He is going to make his international debut for England in the third Test.

Let us tell you, so far a two-match Test series has been played between these two teams. England won the first Test by five wickets, while in the second Test too, the hosts performed brilliantly and defeated Sri Lanka by 190 runs. Now the hosts will also be eyeing to win the third Test. Josh Hull has been included in the team in place of Matthew Potts in the playing XI of the third Test.

Hull’s performance has always been very good in domestic cricket. He has bowled very well for Leicestershire in domestic cricket and has won the hearts of many fans. Hull was included in the English team in place of injured Mark Wood. Apart from Hull, England has not made any other changes in their playing XI. Dan Lawrence will once again be seen batting in the top order.

Ollie Pope has not been able to make an impression with his batting so far, but he will definitely look to score big in the third Test. The best thing for England is that Joe Root is in great form at the moment. Apart from him, Jamie Smith and Harry Brook have also performed brilliantly. Shoaib Bashir is the only spinner in this playing XI and apart from him, Josh Hull, Ollie Stone, Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes will be seen supporting him in the fast bowling lineup.

Ready to round off the Test summer in style.
