• Chris Woakes, Jack Leach and Dom Bess miss out
Adil Rashid has been recalled to the England Test squad to face India at Edgbaston on Wednesday despite his decision to turn his back on red-ball cricket in February.
The leg-spinner has been in impressive form for England’s limited-overs side but has not played a Test match since facing India in Chennai in December 2016. The 30-year-old’s recall will prove controversial given he walked away from first-class cricket with Yorkshire saying: “It was a decision made purely because of how I felt playing red-ball cricket at this time. My mind’s not there, my heart’s not there.”
