2nd Test: Stokes, Potts Replace Woakes & Atkinson In England’s XI
Wales Cricket Board: A fit-again England captain Ben Stokes and pacer Matthew Potts replace Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson in England’s playing eleven for the second Test against Pakistan at Multan, starting on Tuesday.
Stokes returns after missing England’s last four Test matches due to a hamstring tear, which kept him on the sidelines since early August. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have said Stokes has fully recovered from his injury, and he will take back the leadership mantle from stand-in captain Ollie Pope.
Meanwhile, Potts returns to the side for the first time since playing in the Lord’s Test against Sri Lanka at the end of August. It also means that Atkinson has been left out of the Test team for the first time since making his debut in England’s home summer.
