Brydon Carse and Matthew Fisher have both been left out of England’s 15-man squad for the third and final Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston.
England are chasing a 3-0 series sweep, live from September 9-13 on Sky Sports, having thrashed the tourists by an innings and 103 runs at Headingley before claiming a 194-run victory at Lord’s.
Carse was withdrawn from the squad for the second Test, after the Cricket Regulator initiated a probe into an incident that saw the Durham player briefly arrested outside a Derby nightclub on August 22.
Derbyshire Police are looking into “allegations of assault” against the 31-year-old, with left-armer Sonny Baker retaining his place in Joe Root’s squad as Carse’s replacement.
England squad: Joe Root (Yorkshire, captain), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Gus Atkinson (Surrey), Sonny Baker (Hampshire), Shoaib Bashir (Derbyshire), Harry Brook (Yorkshire), Sam Cook (Essex), Jordan Cox (Essex), Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire), Emilio Gay (Durham), Dan Lawrence (Surrey), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Ollie Robinson (Sussex), Jamie Smith (Surrey), Josh Tongue (Nottinghamshire)
