No way! He shouldn't ever have played ANY Tests... should never have made ANY WAT 'A' side and remains an appalling prospect.

The early frontrunners for the side might be as follows:

Joe Denly
Owais Shah
Ravi Bopara
Ed Joyce
Adil Rashid
Luke Wright
Stuart Broad
Chris Tremlett

That's eight players. Add in either Foster or Mustard as a 'keeper plus one good opening batsman and one decent specialist spinner... and that would be a solid XI.

There's time for others to press strong claims.. but all the above should figure prominently in the discussions.
