His family has a sad history, hope all is well.

 

Huge loss for Eng, he is like Thor of that team. 

[SK_IH]

 Respect his decision

Pakistanis must be having a sigh of relief, I remember even in 2016 both Stokes & Anderson missed test matches against Poyz.

Curran should be included,wonder why he isn't played?

[Stan AF]

Oh sheettt.. this is bad news.

[Norman]

Hope everything is okay with his family. 

 

England can afford his absence at the moment. Will not be missed too much. Poyzz are done and dusted.

Actually htb allrounders like woakes and Curran are more effective against asian teams.We don't know how to stop the opponent if they start attacking.

Curran's bowling in England is very effective.  In batting terms he has only bashed India.  Rest of the teams get rid of him easily.  England should pick Wood over Archer/Anderson & play Zak Crawley instead of Stokes & move Root to no 4.

I guarantee you,if Curran is picked he will smash this pakistani side .

 The sportsman’s half-brother and sister were shot dead by his mother’s ex-partner in New Zealand, three years before Stokes was born.
