They have had three of their best players sent home for breaking covid rules.Are Sri Lanka really this bad?
But surely they're better than this?They have had three of their best players sent home for breaking covid rules.
Wow!England will name a new squad for the Pakistan ODI series after 7 people have tested positive. 3 were players, but the rest of the squad now have to self isolate.
England v Pakistan: Seven positive Covid-19 tests force naming of new squad for hosts - BBC Sport
There's three there I've never heard of. Should be fun.Ben Stokes (Durham, captain), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Danny Briggs (Warwickshire), Brydon Carse (Durham), Zak Crawley (Kent), Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire), Lewis Gregory (Somerset), Tom Helm (Middlesex), Will Jacks (Surrey), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Dawid Malan (Yorkshire), Craig Overton (Somerset), Matt Parkinson (Lancashire), David Payne (Gloucestershire), Phil Salt (Sussex), John Simpson (Middlesex), James Vince (Hampshire).
Duckett and Simpson keep. Not sure if there's a third in there.Barely recognise that squad to be honest, who will be the keeper? Will Jacks deserves being called up after his recent performances for Surrey. Never heard of John Simpson...
Salt can keep, but I don't know how often he actually does it.Duckett and Simpson keep. Not sure if there's a third in there.
Hales must be done for good if he can’t get in with this situation.Lets players know where they stand
If you’re not in this squad then you’re not ever likely to play for England - likes of Hales, Alex Davies at Lancs, Joe Clarke etc
Forget about it. Not even in the b-team
Clarke is self isolating apparently after coming into close contact. In any case he is on trial I think right now, so hardly could get called up!Lets players know where they stand

Be a bit worrying if they don't win.Will be fun to see how Pakistan prepare for a team of players I doubt they were expecting to be up against. Really good chance to get a series win in the circumstances.

I’ve come to expect the unexpected from Pakistan’s batting. As capable of scoring 350+ as they are of getting bowled for 100. Fakhar will probably set the tone for which version you’ll get.Be a bit worrying if they don't win.
I know people talk about how hard the England team is to get in but it's not so hard that even an entirely new squad is ODI standard.
My boss has just told me about this, said go and check the Surrey score!Surrey have dropped the anchor vs Hampshire 22 from 33 overs with Amla 3 off 78.
Fair play to him, batted the day out and got the draw (unfortunately)My boss has just told me about this, said go and check the Surrey score!
Now 3 from 96, even if you need to bat the day out for a draw that's pretty insane, never seen a strike rate that low before (from a reasonably long innings of course).
Just seen the scorecard… 37* off 278 ballsSurrey have dropped the anchor vs Hampshire 22 from 33 overs with Amla 3 off 78.
He must be buzzing what a way to make an entranceBrilliant start by Mahmood here
