LONDON: England paceman Josh Hull has been ruled out of next month’s Test tour of Pakistan with a quad injury, team management said on Thursday.

The 20-year-old Leicestershire left-arm quick has missed the current white-ball series against Australia due to the injury, which he suffered during his Test debut against Sri Lanka at the Oval earlier this month.

An England spokesman said Hull would continue his recovery, with no replacement called up into what is now a 16-man squad for a three-Test series starting in Multan on Oct 7.

Revised England squad for Pakistan tour: Ben Stokes (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith (wicket-keeper), Olly Stone, Chris Woakes.
