Freddie, Ed Smith, and Andy Strauss presumably. I take your points although KP is nearly 25, and I would advocate playing him in the Tests against Bangladesh. Not the greatest challenge I know, but still test cricket, and definitely better than blooding him in the Ashes.

The thing that strikes me about KP is that he has instantly produced at 2 representative levels for England. Lots of tons on the A team tour to India a year ago, and the instant impact at one-day level in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Who is to say he won't have the same impact at Test level.
