England have retained the same squad of 12 that was involved in the victorious 2nd Test against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston. The homeside had won the Test Match by 6-wickets and the 1st Test before this at Lord’s was drawn. This means that Steve Harmison who has recovered from a shin injury will have to wait until the Pakistan Series to get back to the England Side. It is learnt that the Selectors are not yet satisfied with Harmison’s match fitness and they want him to play a few more county games to regain that and get used to bowling long spells. Harmison will train with the England Side in Trent Bridge, Nottingham which is the venue for the 3rd Test starting on the 2nd of June.
England Squad for the 3rd Test : Marcus Trescothick, Andrew Strauss, Alastair Cook, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff (Captain), Geraint Jones (Wicket Keeper), Liam Plunkett, Matthew Hoggard, Sajid Mahmood, Monty Panesar, Jon Lewis
