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"Amir has withdrawn so that he can be at the birth of his second child in August, while Haris will miss the tour because of family reasons," said the PCB in a statement.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

Up to £340m: Man City's transfer that set off Chelsea's biggest deal

Highlights:

  • Manchester City signed Enzo Fernández from Chelsea for a Premier League record-equalling £125m, the single biggest deal of the summer across all four clubs.
  • Chelsea's answer to losing Fernández was Roma's Manu Kone, in a £52m deal that only came together because Fernández's exit freed up the funds.

Liverpool's marquee move, Bradley Barcola for £123m, and Manchester United's midfield rebuild both closed out summers built on the same theme: paying up to fix one specific problem rather than a scattergun rebuild.

Four different clubs, four different managers, and yet the 2026 summer window has produced an unusually connected story. Manchester City's record-equalling deal for Enzo Fernández didn't just strengthen their midfield, it directly funded Chelsea's replacement signing. Manchester United's overhaul and Liverpool's own record-adjacent spend follow a similar logic elsewhere in the table. Here's what each club actually did, and how it fits together.
