Sam Curran Monitored for Possible England Test Return in Third Match Against Pakistan
England selector Marcus North confirmed that Sam Curran is excluded from the first two Tests against Pakistan due to ongoing minor injury concerns after a demanding summer. Curran, who missed the IPL 2026 with a groin injury and recently returned as a specialist batter, is being closely monitored by medical staff. North emphasized Curran's value as a key all-rounder and indicated he could be considered for selection in the third Test, especially following Ben Stokes' retirement.
