Tim Southee (c) would be close to the first player who should be ''left out''

Yes, we have 6 tests in Asia before England tour in November/Dec. The squad you've named above were also named for 2 tests vs Sri Lanka & 3 against India.

Yeah I see it is listed on their website for sport coming up in September under cricket (along with CPL, (W)BBL drafts, and Scotland v Oz T20s). No mention of the NZ - SL tests yet but surely they'll get those rights too.

No idea why they aren't taking Gurbaz..... Also, is Rashid injured?

They should schedule a second test so that I can complain about there not being a third. Also why aren't Afghanistan part of the WTC.

Every team that tours india must play a warm up against afghans and every team that tours england against ireland that way afg and ire get to play tests and touring team can get used to conditions

Weather and pitch sound terrible according to cricinfo. Match due to start in about 90 mins, so I really hope it does.

Toss delayed one hour.
I wonder if 3 seamers instead of 2 might be the way to go?

with Young, O'Rourke, Sears, and Ajaz on the side would be my go. But if the spin quartet transpires Ajaz will surely feature.
Realistically, I think O'Rourke will enter for Macewell.
