Not lately, but players like Cook, Broad, Bell, and KP have been there and done it. You can't drop all of them. if they continue to fail, then have another look.

Wholesale changes didn't do Australia much harm and they have managed to regain The Ashes in devastating fashion. Senior players can't be taking their places for granted and there are talented prospects on the County Cricket waiting in the wings who have consistently performed year in year out.
It would be unlikely for 11 debutants to make their England debuts if the ECB adopted Powelly's approach, the one-time England players like Graham Onions, Steve Davies and James Taylor are likely to resurface.
