- Head coach says rotation policy is not reflection of importance
- Silverwood: ‘Decision for Moeen to go home was ours’
Chris Silverwood insists Test cricket is England’s priority despite the much‑debated rotation policy and the suggestion players could miss the first Test against New Zealand this summer to play in the Indian Premier League.
Results-wise there should be few quibbles, with England having won three of their four Tests in 2021. Though hammered by 317 runs in Chennai this week, Joe Root’s side sit 1-1 in their series with India and head into the day-night third Test confident the pink ball will swing for them.
