Can't say I agree there Rachael while Rashid has IMO been overprotected from the media, and has to prove himself in the harsher real world.
While it seems he can bat a bit, then so can Schofield, and it looked like G O Jones would make an England batsman for a while, and that never happened.
Rashid IMO has to be picked as a bowler only.

Swan has shown what he can do, and C Schofield has done a Sidebottom - so Rashid is down the list for this year I feel.

I have not chose Bopara in my team, but have no objection at all to his inclusion, not so sure about Shah.

David Sales has been knocking on the door for a while, on form MA Carberry would get the nod as does IMO MA Carberry.
