England's 'interesting' Test squad selection is further proof that captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum will continue to 'take risks' which align with their Bazball philosophy, says Sky Sports Cricket's Michael Atherton. Surrey wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith and Nottinghamshire seamer Dillon Pennington earned their maiden Test call-ups for the upcoming Test series against West Indies, which starts on Wednesday, July 10, live on Sky Sports.
' When England announced they would pick then debutants Tom Hartley and Bashir to tour India in the winter, people were also shocked. During that tour, right-arm off-spinner Bashir claimed a maiden five-wicket haul while left-armer Hartley took 20 scalps making him the series' leading wicket-taker. Hartley also finished the Test in Hyderabad with a match-winning 7-62, the best by an England spinner on debut since 1933.
