Ben Stokes returns as England names 17-player squad for Pakistan Test tour

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced a 17-player squad for their Test tour of Pakistan in October.

Some of the notable names in the 17-player squad include two uncapped players, Durham's Brydon Carse and Essex's Jordan Cox. Experienced spinner Jack Leach returns for the first time since England toured India earlier this year. Test captain Ben Stokes, who missed England's home Test series against Sri Lanka due to a hamstring injury, is also in the mix.

Carse features as one of the six fast bowlers in England's squad, alongside the left-armer Josh Hull.
