English name new squad to deal with Pakistan after covid-19 cases

LONDON: England chose a completely new squad for their excess series of Pakistan after three players and four staff members were tested positive for Covid-19, said the Country Cricket (ECB) said on Tuesday.
Two days before the series was underway with the first of three days everyday in Cardiff, Ben Stokes was named the captain of the 18-8 squad which included nine players who have not been defeated.
Seven British members were tested positively in Bristol on Monday, one day after the final rained match from the one-day series against Sri Lanka.
“…
Those affected now will observe the period of self isolation from July 4 after the British government protocol in quarantine,” the ECB said in a statement.
“The remaining party members have been considered close contact and will also isolate.” The UK will face Pakistan in three ODIS and three matches twenty20.
The All-Rounder Stokes has come out of international cricket since injuring his finger in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year.
Chief coach Chris Silverwood, who has taken away during the white ball series, will manage the side.
“Last night we had worked quickly to identify new troops, and we thank Ben Stokes who will return to England’s assignments to the captain,” said ECB Chief Executive Tom Harrison.
“We also realized the impact of this news in our first-class district and the team played their men and thanked them …
for their sustainable support in the face of this pandemic.” The ECB said, it is expected that some ISOOLING players will be available to play twenty matches against Pakistan scheduled for July 16 and 20.
“We are in an unprecedented area, in terms of replacing the entire team and I, and I am very proud of How everyone comes together to complete it …
“said the British man’s cricket director of Ashley Giles.
“Ben hasn’t caught our ODI side before so it was a great honor for him.
We all say it well and that is the role that I believe he will develop.” Squad: Ben Stokes (captain), Jake Ball, Danny Briggs, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Lewis Gregory, Tom Helmet, Will Jacks, and Lawrence, Saqib Mahmood, Dawid Malan, Craig Overton, David Payne, David Payne, David Payne, David Payne, David Payne, David Payne, Phil Salt, John Simpson, James Vince
