Stokes was ruled out of the Multan Test on Monday after failing to recover from a hamstring injury. In his absence, wicketkeeper-batter Ollie Pope will lead the Three Lions in the first Test. Stokes suffered the injury during *The Hundred* tournament in August, which also ruled him out of England's 2-1 series win against Sri Lanka. Ollie Pope had led the team during that series as well.
