"Whenever there's a Test squad announcement, you're always desperate to be in it. But at the same time, at my age, with my away record — particularly in the subcontinent — I feel like it's a fair decision," he added.
Bridgetown Pacer Chris Woakes conceded that England took a fair call by leaving him out of the Test series against India given his record in the sub-continent.
The 34-year-old was not included in England's 16-member squad for the five-match Test series, starting from January 25 in Hyderabad and Woakes said he was at ease with the decision. "It's mixed emotions," Woakes said.
