out of third test
Before the T20 World Cup, England also has to play the third Test against South Africa next week. At the same time, a 7-match T20 series is also to be played on the Pakistan tour. Bairstow is now out of all these matches. England have not included any other player in place of Bairstow in the World Cup squad for the time being, but have announced Bairstow’s replacement for the third Test. “Nottinghamshire batsman Ben Duckett has been included in the squad for the third Test, which starts next Thursday at the Kia Oval,” the board said.
Bairstow was running in good form
Bairstow has been in tremendous form for the past few weeks. Bairstow had rained runs in the Test series against New Zealand and India. In such a situation, the English team had high hopes in the World Cup. Not only this, England had dropped their regular opener Jason Roy for the T20 World Cup and Bairstow was likely to enter the opening along with captain Jos Buttler. Now England will have to change its strategy.
