But Swann has not (as yet) been selected for the Test squad, he is a surprise call up for the ODI's, I personally feel that he may not get into the Test squad.

Possible candidates for me are

Louden - I am not a fan but the selectors are
Batty - I think his time may have passed, but he might be a surprise
Swann - Got the ODI nod, maybe (now Fletcher has gone) he can get the Test call
Rashid - Is he two young, would a Lions tour be better?
Schofield - An outside bet, but he could be in the frame

Have I missed anyone?
