I've just been told (not sure how true) to expect a surprise addition to the squad

Presumably Buttler and Bess (kind of) would be classed as surprise additions? Or in addition to them?

I am getting confused here!
I assume they are picking Buttler for his current form, which is a decent reason to pick him!
BUT if they are picking Buttler due to his form, why drop Vince? His form looks very good indeed.....
And surely Bess will only play on spinning wickets?

Dropped by Lancashire as he couldn't buy a run, shouldn't be near a Test squad...

Vince being dropped has got to be a red herring surely but butler recall would be a surprise

BBC have Bairstow as named WK, does this mean Buttler is batting in the top 5? Or specialist bat down at 7?

Such an underwhelming squad announcement. The selectors had a chance to put their foot down and make a statement about a new exciting England test team moving forward.Unfortunately they’ve taken the easy option.

We’ll win this summer and lose/draw abroad. On the cycle goes.

Makes no 3 spot interesting..... root, malan or even Bairstow if he doesn't have the gloves.

Should Vince feel hard done by or not? Some decent scores in CC to get at least a couple of tests but 13 tests he should have definitely done better.

Glad they've gone to a different spinner to Ali as well after leach's injury. even if they won't bowl too much.
