Makes you wonder why one or two of them weren't playing in the Tests.
That thought crossed my mind too
Players like Alex Hayles (recent off-field events apart) have been tried in tests and have averages no worse than Stoneman or Vince. Jason Roy deserves a chance too; if these type of batsmen come off it can be a game-changer in any format
With the bowlers it's a bit different. If Wood had been fit for the five-day games he'd have made a difference, fitness being more of a factor especially in the heat
Then there's Jos Butler, a world class performer who was discarded too readily but may be happier being allowed to play his natural game in limited formats
Not forgetting the Aussie opener Aaron Finch who can't have done any worse than Bancroft but it'd mean two aggressive openers
