England team announced for 2nd test match

Before the England vs West Indies 2nd Test match, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced its 13-man squad. England's playing eleven will be selected from the 13-man squad released on Wednesday evening. The surprising thing is that after the defeat in the first Test match, the England Cricket Board has made major changes for the second Test match.

Considering the importance of the second Test match and the series, the England Cricket Board has excluded experienced bowlers like James Anderson and Mark Wood. Apart from him, batsman Joe Denly will also not be able to play in this match, as he has not been included in the 13-man squad. However, the ECB has said that they have been rested, with James Anderson and Mark Wood, while captain Joe Root returns to the team.

Due to the birth of the second child, Joe Root, the regular captain of the England Test team, was not part of the team in the first match, in which the team had to face defeat. However, he will now play in the second Test match. The team includes Joe Root, Sam Curran, and Ollie Robinson in place of Joe Denly, James Anderson, and Mark Wood. Let me tell you that this test match is very important for England, because if the host team loses this match then it will lose the Test series.
