England will be without Jacob Bethell for the entirety of its upcoming Test series against Pakistan. Multiple reports say Bethell is not included for any of the matches. In his place, the England selectors have recalled Ollie Pope and Brydon Carse, who are both named in the squad. The team is set to take part in the series with a 16-man squad, which includes Pope and Carse. The reports do not specify the reason Bethell is unavailable or provide additional details about the schedule or match dates. However, they agree that the selection news centers on Bethell’s absence for the full series and Pope and Carse returning to the squad. The announcements indicate England’s intent to adjust its Test plans ahead of the series against Pakistan, with Pope and Carse brought back into contention through the 16-man group.
