England recalls Lawrence, Cox, Pope for Pakistan series

Published August 6, 2026 · Updated August 6, 2026 · The Guardian

England has recalled Ollie Pope, Dan Lawrence, Sam Cook and Jordan Cox for the opening match of the three‑match series against Pakistan, as Ben Stokes’ era ends.

With Ben Stokes gone, England’s Test side will be anchored by new captain Joe Root, who will take command at Headingley on 19 August. The 16‑man squad now contains a mix of experience and youth, leaving Root to balance the XI.

Ollie Pope, Dan Lawrence and Sam Cook have been recalled alongside Jordan Cox, who will bat at No 3 after Jacob Bethell was ruled out through injury. The reshuffle aims to fill the all‑rounder void left by Stokes. chincha.pl
