England have added pace bowlers Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt to a 14-man squad announced on Saturday for next week’s fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Trent Bridge.
Yorkshire quick Plunkett, who played the last of his 13 Tests against India in July 2014 and uncapped Derbyshire left-armer Footitt have both been included after England spearhead James Anderson was ruled out with a side injury.
“With James Anderson missing this Test through injury and some concerns over Mark Wood’s workload in the build-up to the last Test, we felt that bringing in two extra bowlers in Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt was necessary,” said national selector James Whitaker.
