Dalrymple
included for the Old Trafford Test |
July 23, 2006
England Selectors have added up Middlesex all
rounder Jamie Dalrymple to the Squad for the Old
Trafford Test Match. The Test Squad has been
increased to 14 with Liam Plunkett being
doubtful to play the Test match after straining
his side during the three-day game against West
Indies at Chester-le-Street. Andrew Strauss has
been named as the Skipper for the rest of the
Test Series with
Andrew Flintoff being ruled out for atleast
another 12 weeks due to his ankle surgery. The
Skipper for the One Day Series to follow after
this 4-Tests Series will be picked later. Jamie
Dalrymple had an impressive start to his ODI
Career performing well with both the bat and the
ball. England might drop Liam Plunkett who
wasn’t that impressive in the Lord’s Test and it
could be a toss up between Jamie Dalrymple and
Sajid Mahmood with the rest of the line up
remaining the same. The 1st Test match at Lord’s
had ended in a draw and the 2nd Test Match
starts from the 27th.

Andrew Strauss
(Captain),
Marcus Trescothick,
Alastair Cook,
