Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

England pacer Brydon Carse has been left out of the squad for the third and final Test against Pakistan, which begins on September 9 in Birmingham. Carse was previously dropped from the second Test after images surfaced showing him in handcuffs outside a nightclub in Derby last month. According to a center left source, the omission comes while police and the Cricket Regulator continue to investigate allegations of an assault connected to that incident.

England has already secured the series victory after defeating Pakistan by 194 runs in the second Test at Lord's. In that match, seamer Ollie Robinson took 8 wickets for 35 runs. Interim coach Marcus Trescothick stated that the team would not ease off the gas and emphasized the benefit of his current first choice seamers playing together.

Pakistan has undergone significant changes following their loss, including the sacking of head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and the dropping of seven players. Meanwhile, England is preparing for a white ball series against Sri Lanka starting on September 15 in Southampton. Sri Lanka has announced its squad, which includes Charith Asalanka as vice captain and the recall of Lahiru Udara.
