Squads
editAnnounced on 10 September 2024, England's 17-man Test squad included the uncapped Brydon Carse (Durham) and Jordan Cox (Essex), whilst spinners Rehan Ahmed and Jack Leach were both recalled.[9] Cox was included as a reserve for the top seven in the batting order, whilst also being able to stand in as wicketkeeper for Jamie Smith.[10][11] With the return of Zak Crawley following injury, there was no place for Dan Lawrence, who had performed poorly in the side's three-match home series against Sri Lanka that summer.[12][13]
