Jof’s elbow is becoming a real worry. He’s missing a lot of cricket because of it.

As I posted back in March, I'm expecting to hear the words 'Tommy John Surgery' soon.

So the 2nd test v NZ at Edgbaston is to be a pilot event with 18000 spectators - negative lateral flow test required to enter and no social distancing once inside apart from hospitality (as presumably this is indoors).
Another step closer to normality. And at 72% capacity augurs well for a return to Villa Park with full crowds in August assuming all goes well.

Is Sam Billings back up wicket-keeper?  No Bairstow?

Most of the IPL guys are rested.

Gutted for Foakes.

Guessing Bracey will keep. He’s highly regarded.

This resting the IPL players is nonsense especially for Woakes who I believe has played in about 4 20/20 games and nothing else since September.

Yep, it should have been on a case by case basis.

I can't see any reason why Woakes shouldn't play in the NZ games

I’d not pick him, he won’t be anywhere near match-sharp.

Presumably, he needed some game-time with the Bears to get his fitness up.

Gutted for Foakes, but good opportunity for Bracey who sounded like a good character on Tuffers and Vaughan the other night.
