Early season games on result pitches could be crucial with most Englans players available for a few games. Butler could be available for quite a number of games but whether that’s an asset will depend on how well he adapts to the 4 day game

Unlikely given he'll be at the IPL until towards the end of May, then there is the ODI series against Sti Lank in June / July and Pakistan in August. We'll be lucky to see anything of him this year. Good job Davies is really coming on!

Yeh, forgot he was a Mumbai Indian. You’re welcome to Colonel Mustard if need be

Forgeting, of course, it's his benefit season. Hardly the done thing in those circumstances surely?

Hope for good weather and some sensible batting.
