Josh Hull to make England Test debut against Sri Lanka at the Kia Oval

Leicestershire bowler Josh Hull will make his England Test debut against Sri Lanka at the Kia Oval.

The 20-year-old left-arm seamer will replace Matthew Potts for the third Test starting on Friday.

Hull, who made his first class debut last year, was added to the squad ahead of the second Test following an injury to Mark Wood.

England will be looking to complete a series clean sweep after winning the opening two matches.

Hull, who stands 6ft 7in and is capable of generating good pace, has made only 10 first-class appearances, with his 16 wickets coming at 62.75.

However, his rising stock was confirmed when he earned an England Lions call-up to face Sri Lanka in a pre-Test warm-up last month, taking five wickets, including experienced duo Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal.

After a keenly-fought first Test at Emirates Old Trafford, England wrapped up the series with a comprehensive 190-run victory at Lord’s on Sunday.

England are now just one win away from completing a clean sweep of home Test triumphs for the first time since 2004, having moved on emphatically from a disappointing 4-1 defeat by India in the winter.
