England leave out pacer Brydon Carse for third Test against Pakistan
England have not recalled Brydon Carse and Matthew Fisher for the third and final Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston, with England naming a 15-player squad as they look to complete a clean sweep of the series. The third and Test is scheduled to take place in Birmingham from September 9 to 13, with England heading into the match with an unassailable 2-0 lead.
England beat Pakistan by an innings and 103 runs in the first Test, and they went on to claim a 194-run win in the second game at Lordās. Carse was also omitted from the squad for the second Test after an off-field incident in Derby on August 22 that saw him being briefly arrested.
In the wake of that, an investigation was launched, and Carse remains unavailable for England while the matter is being examined. Meanwhile, England have gone with the same bowling attack that featured in the second Test. Fisher has also missed out even after being included in England's earlier squad for the series.
England squad: Joe Root (c), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Shoaib ā Bashir, Harry Brook, Sam Cook, Jordan Cox, Ben Duckett, Emilio Gay, Dan ā Lawrence, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue
