Fiery pacer Jofra Archer is back in England’s Test squad after four years and is poised to feature against India in the second Test in Birmingham.
The right-arm quick, who recently made a comeback to competitive cricket after recuperating from a thumb injury, had last featured in the longest format back in 2021.
Having missed out on the white-ball series against West Indies owing to the injury setback, Archer had featured in a four-day match for Sussex against Durham earlier this week.
England squad: Ben Stokes (c), Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes.
