Josh Hull Ruled Out of England's Pakistan Tour

Josh Hull, the 20-year-old left-arm seamer, has been ruled out of England's upcoming Test tour of Pakistan due to a quad injury sustained during his recent Test debut against Sri Lanka. Despite showing promise with match figures of 3-91, Hull's injury has forced him to miss not only the Pakistan tour but also the ongoing white-ball series against Australia. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that no replacement will be called up for him as the team prepares for the three-Test series starting in Multan on October 7. England's pace attack faces further challenges, with doubts surrounding captain Ben Stokes' fitness to bowl early in the series. Hull expressed disappointment over missing this opportunity but remains focused on recovery for future tours, including a white-ball series in the Caribbean later this year. The team is set to depart for Pakistan on October 1, navigating a complex injury situation.
