- Rashid to play as lone spinner in Edgbaston Test
- Jos Buttler to become England’s new vice-captain
Adil Rashid will play as the lone spinner for England in the first Test against India at Edgbaston, with Moeen Ali left out of the starting XI, the England and Wales Cricket Board has announced.
Rashid, who was a controversial selection for the 13-man squad given he only plays white-ball and not four-day cricket for his county, Yorkshire, has been given the nod after England viewed the Edgbaston wicket. Jamie Porter also misses out on the starting XI alongside Moeen.
