England have been dealt an injury blow with Sam Curran forced to undergo surgery and set to be sidelined for the remainder of the summer.
All-rounder Curran is a key figure in England's white-ball sides and had been expected to be added the Test squad at some point during the series against Pakistan.
But the Surrey left-armer has now undergone surgery on a groin injury at the conclusion of the Hundred, ending his chances of a Test recall.
National selector Marcus North had hinted that Curran would likely be considered as an all-round option after the retirement of Ben Stokes.
"With the retirement of Ben Stokes, it's quite clear that he provided us with a certain balance in the team," North had said. "Sam Curran is certainly a player of interest for us.
