LONDON: Left-arm seamer Josh Hull will make his England debut in the third Test against Sri Lanka, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Wednesday. Hull, 20, will replace Matthew Potts in the final test of the Sri Lanka series, which begins on Friday at The Oval.

Leicestershire’s Hull was also called up for the second Test following Mark Wood’s thigh injury but did not play. Hull, six feet and seven inches tall, played for the Lions in a warm-up match against Sri Lanka in August.
