3rd Test: England's Josh Hull To Debut Against Sri Lanka
England Playing XI: England's Josh Hull will make his international debut in the third and final Test against Sri Lanka at The Oval, starting on Friday. Hull will replace Matthew Potts in what will be England’s only change to the side that clinched a series victory with a commanding 190-run win at Lord’s, giving them an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Mark Wood's absence due to a thigh injury opened the door for Hull. His ability to generate bounce from his towering height, coupled with his pace—which can touch the 85-90 mph mark—and the left-arm angle, makes him unique
Until recently, Hull was largely unknown outside of county circles, having taken 11 wickets at an average of 84.54 in his nine County Championship appearances for Leicestershire. However, his physical attributes and potential have caught the eye of England’s selectors, particularly after he impressed with match figures of 5-74 on his England Lions debut last month.
