• Batsmen will play for their places in first two T20s against India
Ben Stokes will return from injury next week to make a rare appearance for Durham and thus create a selection logjam in England’s powerhouse batting lineup for white-ball cricket.
The all-rounder is due to play his county’s T20 Blast fixture at Yorkshire on Thursday as a batsman following a month out with a hamstring tear and, if his bowling progresses in the nets, he could then be in contention for the third Twenty20 international against India in Bristol on 8 July.
