England's two leading wicket-takers of all time, James Anderson and Stuart Broad, have been sensationally left out of the squad for the three-Test tour to the West Indies.
The duo, who have 1,177 wickets between them in the longest format, will not travel to the Caribbean as England go in search of alternatives for challenges away from home.
It represents a huge decision by a selection committee including skipper Joe Root and interim head coach Paul Collingwood who have left out eight players from the recent tour of Australia.
