England Recall Pope and Lawrence for Pakistan Test Series
Surrey duo Ollie Pope and Dan Lawrence return to the England squad while Bethell misses out on the Pakistan tour.
England Recall Pope and Lawrence for Pakistan Tests
Ollie Pope and Dan Lawrence have been recalled to England's squad from Surrey for the first two Test matches against Pakistan. Broady Bethell has been omitted.
Both players will compete for places after featuring in the County Championship with Surrey. Bethell's exclusion is the more significant decision.
The recall of these two players shows the importance we place on domestic performance and the quality of cricket being produced at county level.
The squad faces conditions that will demand adaptability on tour. Bethell now goes without an England call-up after missing this selection round.
