England has selected 20-year-old left-arm seamer Josh Hull for his Test debut in the third and final match against Sri Lanka at The Oval, replacing Matthew Potts. Standing at 6ft 7in, Hull impressed in the England Lions' warm-up match and has been noted for his potential to add a new dimension to the bowling attack. This move follows England's strategy under coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes to incorporate young talent, a tactic that has brought them success, including an unassailable 2-0 lead in the current series. Stand-in captain Ollie Pope noted that Hull's selection is a confidence booster and a chance for him to showcase his skills on the international stage. England aims to achieve a rare clean sweep of six consecutive home Test wins, a feat last accomplished in 2004.
