Amir, Sohail pull out of England tour due to personal reasons

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir and middle-order batsman Haris Sohail on Thursday pulled out of the upcoming England tour due to personal reasons.

"Amir has withdrawn so that he can be at the birth of his second child in August, while Haris will miss the tour because of family reasons," said the PCB in a statement.


"Pakistan will send 28 players and 14 player support personnel for three Tests and three T20Is to be played in August and September. The squad as well as pre-series and series schedule will be announced in due course," it added.

Earlier in the week, the PCB cancelled a players' training camp at the National Cricket Academy due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country.

Instead, the PCB asked its English counterpart ECB to prepare an itinerary which allows the Pakistan team to reach London early in June. The squad was originally scheduled to land in the UK on July 6.

Pakistan are scheduled to play three Tests and three ODIs against England in August and will be required to complete the quarantine period.

Robert Stokes loses £850,000 court battle after suing grandson Sebastian over house and wedding money

  • A 90-year-old businessman failed to recover £850,000 from his grandson in the High Court.
  • The money paid towards a house and luxury wedding was ruled to be a series of gifts.
  • The family dispute followed a breakdown in a relationship once described as especially close.

A family dispute over £850,000 in property and wedding payments has ended in the High Court, with a judge ruling that a 90-year-old businessman cannot recover the money he gave to his grandson because it was gifted rather than loaned.

Robert Stokes, the fourth-generation owner of Stokes Tiles, had claimed the money advanced to his grandson, Sebastian Stokes, was intended as a loan and should be repaid. But the court found there was no evidence of any agreement requiring the money to be returned, dismissing the claim in full.
