Players unavailable for Tests in England

When identifying potential replacements, we need to remember two facts:

1) Tour of England: August 1 - September 29

2) CPL: August 4 - September 9

Any player selected to play in the CPL will probably NOT give up their place to play Test cricket in England. That includes....

1) Chris Gayle
2) Evin Lewis
3) Lendl Simmons
4) Rovman Powell
5) Kieron Pollard
6) Ravi Rampaul
7) Raymon Reifer
8 ) Damion Jacobs
9) Chadwick Walton
10) Veerasammy Permaul
11) Jason Mohammed
12) Keon Joseph
13) Shimron Hetmyer
14) Carlos Brathwaite
15) Jerome Taylor
16) Marlon Samuels
17) Rahkeem Cornwall
18 ) Sunil Narine
19) Denesh Ramdin
20) Darren Bravo

Kieron Powell and Alzarri Joseph are in the St Kitts squad. Will they pull out?

Would any of the other nations tour during their 20/20 tournament thus depriving their players the opportunity to earn some coin?
Would players not playing CPL be eligible for WI T20 internationals?

Once they are on international duty or injured, yes.

Pollard and Samuels come to mind

Powell?

Alzarri?

Forcing players to choose tests over the CPL will create the usual miserable environment on an England tour.
