Keaton Jennings will be given a third crack at Test cricket after Alex Lees became the first casualty of the Bazball era.
Opener Lees missed out on any sort of central contract on Tuesday which signposted his likely lack of international cricket over the next 12 months and the axe has fallen swiftly for the three match Pakistan tour in November/December. His return of 453 runs from 10 matches at an average of 23.8 left him vulnerable to the chop.
There is a first call up for Surrey’s 23-year-old spinning all rounder Will Jacks who will tour as back up to Liam Livingstone who has earned a second Test squad call up and is certain to make his debut on this trip.
