With two bowlers dropped and now three injured, England are naturally going to be further down the list of bowlers. And when there are injuries it is not their fault they are chopping and changing.
But would certainly be nice to have some more obvious options to call up though.
Had Ajmal Shazhad not got injured last month, I reckon he would be in contention for an England recall. I'm surprised Tim Bresnan hasn't got recalled, just to fill a void. I suppose the Overton call ups mean England are looking into the future.
No domestic one day cricket being played just yet makes player identification all the more difficult. Surely there are a few players in the County Cricket who do play red ball cricket are more suited to white ball cricket.
