Mark Butcher Questions Dan Lawrence's Spin Cover Selection

Mark Butcher is raising an eyebrow at the decision to pick Dan Lawrence as spin cover for the England Test squad against Pakistan. With Ben Stokes hanging up his boots, Lawrence is back after two years, but Butcher thinks this pairing with Joe Root is a head-scratcher! He believes other players could do a better job. Meanwhile, Jordan Cox is stepping in to bat at number three for the first Test on August 19, 2026.
