England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith initially expressed optimism about overcoming a difficult period in his career following the Ashes series in Australia. He noted that the “challenging” months would serve as a learning experience as he prepared for the series against Pakistan.

However, during the third Test match against Pakistan at Edgbaston, Smith was forced to relinquish wicketkeeping duties for the second innings due to a left-hand finger injury sustained while collecting a delivery from Ollie Robinson. While Smith continued to bat, Jordan Cox took over the wicketkeeping responsibilities.
