Jamie Overton returned after three years when England announced a 14-member team for the first test against India, scheduled to start on Friday, June 20 in Headley, Leeds. Overton made his debut in the same place in June 2022 against New Zealand, where he raised two goals and scored the best 97 career.
31 -year -old man remembered the side of the red ball after Gus Atkinson was expelled SA Hamstring injury suffered during a one -time test against Zimbabwe On Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
Overton brings valuable experience with 97 first -class matches to his name when he scored 2,383 runs, including the highest score of 120. He took 237 goals at an economic rate of 3.48, which includes seven four -member loads and six five goals.
Chris Woakes also returned to the team and last performed in a series of three matches against New Zealand in 2024. The left -handed dough Jacob Bethell, which recently amazed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2025 and scored 82 in the first ODI against Western Indiawas also included.
England will be without their full pace for the series, because Mark Wood and Olly Stone continue to recover from knee injuries. Jofra Archer also missed the selection after he suffered a thumb injury while playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL.
It is not expected that Speedster was fit before the second test, which begins on Wednesday, July 2, in Edgbaston in Birmingham.
England was unable to achieve the finals in the first two editions of the World Test Championship (WTC) and this time it will try to make a strong start.
