No assurances over England number three - Wright
England selector Luke Wright refrained from fully supporting current number three Ollie Pope as Jacob Bethell was selected for the upcoming Test against India. Bethell, 21, returns after missing a previous match due to IPL commitments. Despite speculation, Wright did not confirm Bethell's inclusion but acknowledged his strong potential and the depth he brings to the squad. Pope's performance and various factors will determine the final decision on the playing XI for the upcoming match at Headingley.
