They don't start till friday. But I'm guessing he'll still be part of the squad. But not in the starting line up. I'm guessing bar injuries between now and then. He'll also play at Birmingham on Friday night. Edit He is not in the England squad. Bit surprised myself by that. Named only 12 players. ? England: Ben Stokes (C), Zak Crawley, Alex Lees, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes, Matthew Potts, Jack Leach, Matt Parkinson Stuart Broad, James Anderson.
Just seen you say he’s not in England squad for second test… I thought they’d picked it for two matches. Seem to be messing him about
And Leach is there but doesn’t he have to miss a game for concussion rules ? Anyway, I’ll be happy if Brook plays anytime in this NZ series
Haris Rauf is currently playing for Pakistan vs W. Indies in a ODI. He’s got a couple of wickets albeit quite expensive
Steady 45 degrees heat to play in The series was suppose to be last December but because West Indies had covid cases it got arranged for now. Rather poor scheduling in the summer heat they get there. In other news I wish Lancs would hurry up and announce their squad for tonight as Livingstone has a knock and Jos could be back....
I'd tell them to get stuffed! We desperately need someone who can bat yet he's being overlooked, typical England!
Surprising as well no Brook when he was in the squad. Surely they wouldn't put him in the squad as false information if he was never available.
