Nottinghamshire fast bowler Dillon Pennington and Surrey wicketkeeper Jamie Smith earn their first Test call-ups as part of England's squad to play West Indies.
Nottinghamshire fast bowler Dillon Pennington and Surrey wicketkeeper Jamie Smith have earned their first Test call-ups as part of England's squad to play West Indies next month.
Ben Stokes , James Anderson , Gus Atkinson , Shoaib Bashir , Harry Brook , Zak Crawley , Ben Duckett , Dan Lawrence , Dillon Pennington , Ollie Pope , Matthew Potts , Joe Root , Jamie Smith , Chris Woakes Durham's Matthew Potts is the other pace bowler picked, meaning there is no place for Sussex seamer Ollie Robinson.
Pennington, 25, moved to Nottinghamshire from Worcestershire prior to this season and has taken 29 wickets in seven matches this campaign. James Anderson had already been told it was time to move on, but the removal of Bairstow, Foakes, and Leach, three regulars during Stokes' time as captain, is brutal and decisive.
