England has announced their 17-player squad for the upcoming Test series against Pakistan in October. The team includes two uncapped players, Brydon Carse and Jordan Cox, as well as the returning spinners Rehan Ahmed and Jack Leach.
Eight players from the squad have previous experience in Pakistan, having been part of England's successful 3-0 Test series victory in 2022. Rehan Ahmed, who made his Test debut in Karachi during that tour, is hoping to add to his four Test caps.
Leicestershire seamer Josh Hull, who recently made his Test debut at The Oval, has been included in the squad for his first senior tour with England. Kent opener Zak Crawley is also returning to the team after recovering from a finger injury.
Captain Ben Stokes is part of the squad despite a recent hamstring tear. The Pakistan Cricket Board is expected to announce the revised schedule for the series soon, with Multan and Rawalpindi confirmed as the host cities.
