England : Having taken an unbeaten 2-0 lead in the Test series against Pakistan, the England team will now enter the field with the intention of a clean sweep. England have announced a 15-man squad for the third and final Test to be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The biggest thing is that fast bowler Brayden Kars, who was dropped from the team after a controversial incident last month, has not made it to the team this time either.
Sonny Baker remains in the team
England have retained young fast bowler Sonny Baker in the squad. On the other hand, fast bowler Matthew Fisher has been left out of the squad selected for the final Test. Apart from this, no major changes have been made in the squad.

Brydon Carrs came under fire last month after an incident outside a nightclub in Derby. After the incident on August 22, the police handcuffed him and detained him for some time. After this incident, he was dropped from the second Test at Lord’s. The 31-year-old’s case is still under investigation, preventing him from returning to the team.
