Pope&#39;s highest score in Tests is an unbeaten 135 against South Africa in 2020, apart from five half-centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He toured India with England earlier this year in February-March after recovering from a shoulder injury. He had a torrid time in India, averaging 19 in a series of four Tests which India won 3-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the last eight Tests he featured in, the 23-year-old Pope has been unable to reach the 35-run mark.<\/p>\r\n",
