    Ben Stokes Ruled Out Of England’s First Test Vs Pakistan; Brydon Carse Set For Debut

    By IANS News October 05, 2024 • 15:08 PM View: 760
    Pacer Brydon Carse: Ben Stokes has been ruled out of playing England's first Test against Pakistan, starting on October 7 in Multan, due to his ongoing recovery from a torn hamstring.

    Stokes sustained the hamstring injury two months ago while playing in the Hundred, leading to him missing England’s 2-1 series win over Sri Lanka. Despite training with the team in Multan, Stokes won’t play the first Test, meaning that stand-in skipper Ollie Pope will continue to lead the side.

    "I tried my hardest to try and get myself fit for this first game but we've taken the call to miss this one. I've not quite managed to get game-ready. We got to a certain point, but just looking at the bigger picture around what we've got coming up and actually physically where I'm at with my rehab, I'm not quite ready to play," said Stokes to reporters.
