Ben Stokes Still A Doubtful Starter For England's First Test Against Pakistan

England captain Ben Stokes is still a doubtful starter for the side's first Test against Pakistan, starting on October 7 in Multan. Stokes is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during The Hundred and missed England's 2-1 series victory over Sri Lanka, with Ollie Pope leading the team in his absence. “I think he's got to do a few more tests, but he's been doing some running and stuff. He seems to be doing well, recovering well from his injury, (but) we don't know just yet. We feel ready, whatever team comes out it will be a nice balance either way. We've got a really deep squad with plenty of options with the ball and with the bat as well,” said opener Zak Crawley to reporters after England held its first practice session.

Pakistan could have separate cricket captains in all three formats, given the heavy schedule of the side and the pressure it could put on one white-ball skipper, according to sources. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was expected to hand over Babar Azam ODI captaincy as well for the upcoming white-ball matches, but the charismatic batter tendered his resignation around midnight on Wednesday to focus on his batting. Insiders suggest that it would not be easy for white-ball head coach, Gary Kirsten or the selection committee to appoint the next captain in the shorter formats.
