Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has called for Liam Livingstone and Harry Brook to be given Test debuts this summer, claiming the pair have "great skill and a proper mentality".
With only new captain Ben Stokes and former skipper Joe Root guaranteed to feature in the first Test of the summer provided they are fit, spots are up for grabs. Pietersen has repeatedly advocated for Livingstone to be given a chance in Test cricket, with the 28-year-old already a key member of England's white ball setup.
He is currently in action for Punjab Kings in the IPL, where he has struck an impressive 293 runs at an average of 32.55 and a strike rate of 186.62. Brook, meanwhile, has been in impressive form for Yorkshire in the County Championship.
