Expectations are rising that Ben will return to Test match action during England Men’s tour of Pakistan.
At present Ben is recovering from his hamstring injury. Nevertheless, the ECB appear confident of his participation in Pakistan by naming him as captain.
Ben’s injury occurred during this summer’s edition of The Hundred, forcing him to miss the recent home series against Sri Lanka.
The three Test series in Pakistan begins in October; although, the venues hosting the matches are yet to be announced.
