• England to name two spinners with Jack Leach also in line
• Sam Curran and Jamie Overton vying for final bowling place
Moeen Ali looks set to return to England’s Test plans for next week’s series opener with India as one of two spinners in the squad alongside Jack Leach.
Ed Smith, the national selector, will on Thursday name what is expected to be a 13-man party for England’s 1,000th men’s Test match and will probably furnish the captain, Joe Root, with two slow-bowling options at Edgbaston in light of the heatwave in the UK.
