Out of the rest of Englands summer and Autumn schedule, including the T20 World Cup, after suffering what sounds like a broken leg in a freak accident playing golf today.
That's gotta go in the list of strange ways to get injured with Darren Barnard slipping on pooch pee in his kitchen. He will be gutted as the chance to tour Pakistan is a cracking opportunity for the players to experience.
I suppose it’ll mean Brook wii replace him in last test although Duckett has been called up to the squad.
Duckett's a natural No.3 averaging over 70 for Notts this season. He'll come in and Pope will drop down the order. Duckett, like YJB, is also an emergency stumper.
Don’t you guys think Brook will just replace Bairstow at 5….he’s regularly played for Yorks at 5 and occasionally 4. Duckett will be cover for injuries etc
Bairstow with a broken leg would be better than one or two we’ve watched playing for England recently!
