When Hope returns to the team.

Unfortunately for Hodge, he'll likely be the one to miss out when Hope returns.

I like Hodge; shows a lot of character especially for someone who doesn't play a lot of cricket.

There's serious competition for spots in the current setup.

The obvious player to leave out would be Chase, but he's the cappo.

Chase is Sammy reincarnated!!

No You are wrong.

I think Da Silva will make way for Campbell on his return and Bishop will make way for Hope.

Ok the youth scored twin 50's in his first Test which is a great achievement but Hodge stays. Remember Hodge scored 3 centuries in 3 different countries and looks to be heading to his first 150 score. It would be lunacy to drop him. Wickham stays in the 15, Bishop sits for another bowler.

I see this team for the next TEST:

King

Campbell

Hodge

Hope

Jangoo with gloves

Greaves

Chase

Roach or Warrican depending on the pitch.

Alzarri

Shamar

Seales

I agree with you. This is a good problem for WI to have.

Will Alzharri be returning to test cricket? Can his body take that punishment? I agree that Silva makes way for Campbell. I am putting Keemo in before Roach. Roach and Shamar can fight for one bowling spot. Warrican has to be a fixture as far as I am concerned. He has to develop into our Nathan Lyons. We cannot know if he is effective outside the sub continent unless we give him a chance.

Why not reward the youth who just scored twin fifties?

Your team above is somewhat flawed.

I would not give Jangoo the gloves, since he is not as good as Hope. I would however, switch their batting positions. jangoo comes in at four with Hope at five.

Also Roach needs to let go and make way for the younger brigade.

I know, I know you're going to say he is better than anyone on his day, but these other guys are never going to learn to hone their craft.

I agree that one of the pacers will have to make way for Warrican depending on the pitch.
