Michael Vaughan has accused new England coach and captain Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes of playing it "safe" after their first Test squad was announced.
Veteran seamers James Anderson and Stuart Broad were recalled, while uncapped duo Harry Brook and Matty Potts were both included in the 13-man squad. However, Vaughan has described the selections as "a little bit disappointing", particularly the omission of leg-spinner Matt Parkinson.
In his latest column for the Telegraph, Vaughan wrote: "The first Test squad picked by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes is a little bit disappointing. I understand there are injuries and players unavailable but the attack lacks variety."
