26-year-old Emilio Gay is one of the batters who has been positioned highly in the new era of England’s Test cricket. The batter from Bradford, who replaced experienced batter Zak Crawley in the Test team, scored a couple of half-centuries in the three-match Test series against New Zealand and is expected to play as an opener against Pakistan as well.
A member of the Durham cricket team quickly rushed onto the ground before taking the batter off the ground. Later, on behalf of the team, a spokesperson informed that Emilio Gay would no longer take part in the game.
Who will be the substitute opener if Emilio Gay is ruled out?
The batter's injury occurred after the squad announcement. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) named the squad to face Pakistan, keeping Emilio Gay with the core team.
Pope is mainly a middle-order batter. If the team decides to promote him to the opening slot, then the middle-order of the team will be left with limited options.
Two strong contenders to replace Emilio Gay
Gay's Durham team-mate Ben McKinney and Glamorgan's Asa Tribe are the two other possible contenders for the role. Ahead of the session, when the England team management was searching for a suitable substitute for Zak Crawley, Ben and Asa were seen as two strong contenders. Later, it was Emilio Gay who made the final cut.
However, if the latest reports are to be believed, then Gay will be fit to face Pakistan and ECB will not have to think about his replacement.
