Ben Stokes has been recalled by England for the first Investec Test against India as the only addition to the 12-man squad which was named for both Tests against Sri Lanka.
England have resisted any temptation to respond to pressure for a specialist spinner and have reasserted their belief that the balance of their side in the wake of Graeme Swann's retirement, with Moeen Ali as the only credible spin bowling option alongside four seamers, can be successful in traditional English conditions.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

But will the conditions be traditional English?
It seem like SL had no problem with the conditions.

I see this as a smart choice to be honest.
I feel like Stokes has a lot to offer and is often better than the other flops.

Good decision. So are they gonna give Jordan the boot for Stokes? I can't see anyone else getting the boot.
Also lack of a quality spinner is really gonna hurt them even in English conditions IMO.

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] It will be a test for all..The selection is actually quite baffling.[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]they should include somebody with express pace to destroy Indian line-up, Anderson and Broad are not the same bowlers anymore,maybe finn or graham onions..??[/color]
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Anyways,that was just an assumption,i really don't know how this is going to turn out.July 9th..!@![/color]
