It is hard to work out who is likely to be in the test squad for the first test of the summer.
.Do they risk Hales, as an opener, Do they bring Compton back to open, Do they replace Taylor with Bell, or do they bring in somebody like James Vince and go with youth, also you won't need two spinners, so do they go with Mooen Ali or Adil Rashid, Also haven't you got Buttler still in the IPL at the beginning of the test series.
If it was a big series, I think Bell would be a given just for experience.
My Test team
Cook
Lyth
Compton
Root
Vince
Stokes
Barstow
Mooen Ali
Broad
Finn
Anderson
Lyth I only picked as there isn't anybody else, he is older and has experience, you need an older face, otherwise it is all youth.
If at the end of the IPL if Buttler is in form, I would play Bairstow as a Batsman and Buttler keep
