Olly Stone
Stone picked seven wickets in two Tests against Sri Lanka at the end of the English summer, where the England team beat the Lankans by 2-1. Brydon Carse was preferred as England's high-pace option for the first Test in Multan against Pakistan, which started on Monday, which has allowed Stone to fly home earlier than initially planned ahead of his wedding on Saturday.
"We booked the wedding on the basis of me only playing for Notts at the time," Stone recently told the BBC. "Jess said she was happy to move the wedding and I was adamant on keeping it where it was if possible. For what she has given up and sacrificed for me, I thought the least I could do was to try and make it work."
England's management are also alright to leave Stone for England, given he was not included in their last batch of central contracts and his wedding was arranged long before his recall. He spoke to Rob Key and Brendon McCullum - England's managing director and coach respectively - before the tour, who all agreed that he should fly home to get married.
England's updated squad for Pakistan tour :
Ben Stokes (Captain), Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith (Wicket-keeper), Chris Woakes.
