Cannot believe he has been selected again. Based on his form in the 100 I'd guess. Bit like when we picked Jason Roy as a test opener based on his one day and t20 form.
In fairness to him, he has 5 test hundreds and nearly 200 wickets. Whilst I would've preferred to pick Leach, you cannot dismiss that lightly. My only question is, if Curran isn't going to play as an all rounder with Stokes and Woakes unavailable, when is he? What role to England see for him long term?
They did the same with Stokes early in his career. Played him as a swing bowler rather than an all rounder. I guess maybe the theory is to let his batting develop naturally rather than putting him under pressure?
