Saqib Mahmood to make debut in England’s second Check towards the West Indies in Barbados


Saqib Mahmood will change the injured Mark Wooden for his Check debut in England’s second Check towards the West Indies on Wednesday

Final Up to date: 15/03/22 6:11pm

Saqib Mahmood will make his Check debut in England’s second Check towards the
West Indies in Barbados, changing the injured Mark Wooden.

A primary look from the Lancashire seamer is the one change from the XI which drew on a flat pitch in Antigua final week, with Ollie Robinson not included.

Wooden suffered an elbow damage through the first Check.

Mahmood, 25, has performed seven one-day internationals and 12 Twenty20s over the previous two-and-a-half years, however that is his first probability to indicate his worldwide credentials with a red-ball in hand.

The omission of Robinson is one thing of a shock given England’s obvious positivity about his restoration from a again spasm, however regardless of a prolonged bowl within the nets on Monday he was unnoticed as Chris Woakes and Craig Overton retained their spots.

1. Alex Lees
