firing near england team hotel
A day before the start of the second Test, gunshots were heard within a radius of 1 km from the hotel where the England team is staying. The incident took place in the morning and no casualty has been reported so far. According to media reports, four arrests have been made in this case. The incident took place when the England team was leaving the hotel to leave for training. An English journalist posted about this on social media.
Mark Wood’s place in the team
England have included fast bowler Mark Wood in their squad for the second Test starting on Friday, ignoring Pakistan’s move to make the Multan pitch more spinner-friendly. Wood will replace all-rounder Liam Livingstone, who had to return home after sustaining an injury during the first Test. England captain Ben Stokes said on Thursday about Wood’s inclusion in the team, “A bowler who bowls at a speed of 150 km will be like a bonus in any team.” Wood has not played a Test match since March this year due to an elbow injury. He didn’t even play in the English county season.
