Ollie Pope Recalled to England Test Squad After Facing Crowd Jeers in India Series
England batsman Ollie Pope has been recalled to the Test squad for the series against Pakistan following Jacob Bethell's injury. Pope, who was dropped during the 2025-2026 Ashes after inconsistent performances, recalled facing hostile crowd jeers during the previous India series, including fans shouting 'enjoy your last Test mate.' Despite this, he scored a century in that match. Pope expressed appreciation for fan support on good days and hopes to secure a place in the playing XI for the upcoming Tests.
