Surrey batters Ollie Pope and Dan Lawrence have been recalled to the squad; Pope returns after being dropped during the Ashes to provide experienced batting and wicket-keeping cover, while Lawrence, rewarded for an outstanding summer, will bat at No. 6 and could offer an off-spinning option. Among the seamers, Sam Cook, who was out of favour since featuring against Zimbabwe, and Brydon Carse, now fit again after a hand injury, have both returned to the squad. Joe Root returns as captain, aiming to improve England's recent Test record, while Marcus Trescothick will serve as interim coach before new head coach Stephen Fleming arrives in September.
