Your England squad for the North Western Hemisphere Test Championship Round Six match against Scotland at Scotland Cricket Ground is as follows:
Dawid Malan
Haseeb Hameed
Ben Stokes
Joe Root (Captain)
Moeen Ali
Jos Buttler
Jonny Bairstow (Wicketkeeper)
Sam Curran
Chris Woakes
Stuart Broad
James Anderson
Liam Dawson
Jamie Porter
Dawid Malan returns to Test cricket after impressing in the first half of the Global ODI Invitational. Though not normally an opener in this format Dawid is a seasoned opening batsman in limited overs cricket, already has Test experience and we believe is an adaptable cricketer capable of thriving at the top of the order in Test cricket.
James Anderson returns to the squad having been rested for our last Test but Jamie Porter retains his place after performing well on debut. Liam Dawson provides another spin bowling option having performed superbly in the early stages of the Global ODI Invitational.
The team are looking forward to the business end of the inaugural North Western Hemisphere Test Championship and pushing for a place in the final. The players are extremely grateful for the continued support of our committed fan base.
We’ll see you in Scotland!
