Overview
- Trescothick made the comparison after England’s convincing wins at Headingley and Lord’s and highlighted that three of the seamers are bowling around 92 miles per hour.
- The quartet is Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue who have driven England to a 2-0 series lead over Pakistan.
- Trescothick said he will prioritise a settled XI to try to complete a 3-0 series sweep and resist rotating players just to test squad depth.
- Brydon Carse has been withdrawn from selection while police and the Cricket Regulator investigate an incident outside a Derby nightclub and England’s reserve seam options are Sam Cook, Sonny Baker and Matthew Fisher who have limited Test experience.
- The form of the quicks is being watched as England head into tougher assignments and a coaching transition to Stephen Fleming this winter with selection depth likely to be tested on tours to South Africa and Bangladesh and in next summer’s home Ashes.
