Multan: Panic triggered in the England team hotel in Multan when gunshots were heard in close proximity to the hotel. England team is currently in Multan for the second Test against Pakistan. The Three Lions are leading the series 1-0 after picking up an emphatic win in Rawalpindi. The incident reportedly took place 1 KM away from the hotel and local police made four arrests related to the incident. The England team was assured that there was no threat to their safety.
Meanwhile, England have made just one change to the team that beat Pakistan in the first Test. Mark Wood will return to the team in place of the injured Liam Livingstone while Ollie Pope will keep the wickets despite Ben Foakes being fully fit.
“It’s just for this Test match. Foakesy still is the number one gloveman in England and Iâll still keep saying that heâs the best keeper in the world. It must sound a bit silly to not be picking him, but you hâve got to look at the conditions we face out here.
“We didnât have any of this on our radar before we started the first Test match. It is with the illness that Foakesy unfortunately had which allowed us to think like this. This is definitely no sign of Ben Foakes future going forward and in the dressing room,” said Ben Stokes as quoted by mirror.co.uk
