England's 15-men squad for ICC Test Championship
Debuts :

>Mark Harold Alan Footitt

Blessed with genuine pace, Mark Footitt has taken a while to hone his talent but is gradually becoming recognised as one of the leading bowlers in county cricket. 2014 was a breakthrough season for him with 84 first-class wickets at 19.19. His 82 wickets in the Championship - the highest in Division Two - represented the best return by a Derbyshire bowler since the England offspinner Geoff Miller in 1984. Just as strikingly, his 106 dismissals in all competitions were the most by a Derbyshire bowler since 1965. He'll be wearing a proud test cap in the upcoming Test Championship.

>Alexander Zak Lees

Lees, who first represented Yorkshire at U-13 level and who went on to skipper the Academy and second XI teams, signed full professional terms with the county ahead of the 2013 season with runs galore to his name at junior level. He became the youngest Yorkshire player to make a Championship double century - 20 years and 95 days - when he hit an unbeaten 275 against Derbyshire at Chesterfield. He had earlier made a maiden Championship hundred against Middlesex. He surely deserves a spot in the rattled batting line-up of England.


>Adil Usman Rashid

At home, Rashid enjoyed his most productive season for Yorkshire in 2010, scoring 732 first-class runs at 45.75 and taking 57 wickets at 31.29. He began the 2011 season with a bang, taking 6 for 77 and 5 for 37 to secure victory against Worcestershire at New Road, the best figures for a leg-spinner in Yorkshire history, but failed to maintain his form, finishing the season with 39 wickets at 43.38. From 10 Championship matches in 2012 he totalled only 16 wickets and 129 runs and his discontent was apparent. His brilliant form in the limited overs has easily paved the way into the test squad.

>Zafar Shahaan Ansari

It is championship cricket rather than his famous T20 cricket that Ansari has made his biggest impact. He has emerged as an opening batsman of guts and old-fashioned defensive solidity. In 2014, he topped 1000 first-class runs at a distinctly un-21st century strike rate of 36. His left-arm spin is used primarily on wearing pitches in the second innings. Add in his sprightly fielding, and Ansari is a cricketer of resourcefulness and unusual maturity. He was considered to be the future Surrey captain but now he has easily entered the national test squad.

Pitch Report:Bowling Paradise, there will equal great amount of assistance for both pace & swing bowling in this greenish pitch, but there is only little assistance for spinners.The batsman who has skill of facing some proper pace bowling will be key on this track.

Post yours lineups: @Baahubali @Raghu @Saroj padhy @ARKRafay
