Aaah maybe that's it, apologies Risso.

DeFreitas, Gayle, Bravo, Streak. Some shite on that list!

First class wickets is probably more likely considering Afghanistan don't play that many games, but reckon Rashid Khan could well end up top of many wicket-takers lists by the time he retires. Already on 304 there and he's only 23.

So Roy’s form has cost him his World Cup spot.

It’s the right decision.

Woakes and Wood are a worrying pick, both have been out injured for a long time, I don’t think either of them have played since the test series in the Caribbean in March. They will be very short of match action and with them both having poor injury records I really don’t see them as reliable selections.

Bairstow out of the Test and the T20 World Cup

Injured playing golf. Possible broken leg

I'd like to see Harry Brook play in the Test and Phil Salt open in the World Cup

[Risso]

How on earth do you break your leg playing golf?!

[PaulWinch again]

Terrible news and huge blow for England.

Got it trapped in the windmill.

Not sure, but it's the kind of thing only Bairstow could manage. Reckon Jofra could do himself elbow damage on the driving range, and Wood could knacker his achilles in the clubhouse, but only Bairstow is daft enough to smash the fuck out of his own leg with a 3-wood.

[dcdavecollett]

I understand he slipped and banged his leg on a tee-box.

No Katherine Brunt in the squad for the Women's T20s against India and she's also opted out of the ODIs that follow.
International retirement on the cards, I suspect

No recall for Tammy Beaumont

With Heather Knight still out injured, the squad continues to take on a younger look.

England squad: Nat Sciver (Northern Diamonds, capt), Lauren Bell (Southern Vipers), Maia Bouchier (Southern Vipers), Alice Capsey (South East Stars), Kate Cross (Thunder), Freya Davies (South East Stars), Sophia Dunkley (South East Stars), Sophie Ecclestone (Thunder), Sarah Glenn (Central Sparks), Amy Jones (Central Sparks), Freya Kemp (Southern Vipers), Bryony Smith (South East Stars), Issy Wong (Central Sparks), Danni Wyatt (Southern Vipers).

I'll be at the 3rd T20 in Brizzle

Hales is replacing Bairstow in the T20 World Cup squad. Clean slates all around then.

[UK Redsox]

Chances that his seat for the flight to Aus is next to Stokes........slim

[Villan For Life]

And Harry Brook replaces Bairstow in the test side for the 3rd test which starts tomorrow.

Glad that he's getting a chance after being around the squad most of the summer

Yes, I like the continuity in selection.
