Hull ruled out of England tour to Pakistan

England cricketer Joe Root has confirmed that fast bowler Chris Hull has been ruled out of the upcoming tour to Pakistan due to a back injury. Hull, who was expected to play a key role in England’s bowling attack, suffered the injury during a practice session ahead of the tour.

Root expressed his disappointment at losing Hull for the tour, stating that the team will miss his skills and experience. However, he also expressed confidence in the squad’s ability to cope without him.

The news comes as a blow to England’s preparations for the tour, as they were counting on Hull’s pace and accuracy to trouble the Pakistani batsmen. It remains to be seen who will replace Hull in the squad for the series.

England is scheduled to play three Tests and three T20 matches in Pakistan, and will be looking to put in a strong performance against a strong home side. The absence of Hull will certainly be felt, but Root and the rest of the team will be looking to make the most of the situation.

Root also wished Hull a speedy recovery and expressed hope that he will be back in action soon. The team will be looking forward to having him back in the squad for future series.

Despite the setback, England remains focused on the task at hand and will be determined to put up a strong showing in Pakistan. The team will be looking to make a statement and come away with a series victory.
