The main talking point of the announced list was the absence of out of form former captain Michael Vaughan sparking more rumours that this is the end of his international career. Owais Shah was the beneficiary of the decision to leave Vaughan out over the winter and he was named in the squad in preference to Young Cricketer of the Year Ravi Bopara.
Matt Prior is odds on to resume the role of wicketkeeper ahead of Tim Ambrose, who has had a poor season and will play second fiddle to the Sussex man in the one-day games.
England are 5/4 to win that series, whilst the bookies have also priced up who will make the side for the first test in December with spinner Graeme Swann available at 5/2 after an impressive spell under Kevin Petersen’s reign so far.
Meanwhile KP’s side remain 4/5 favourites to become instant dollar millionaires when they face off against the Standford Allstars in that winner takes all Twenty20. Andrew Flintoff, who is being lined up by the bosses of the Indian Premier League at the moment, is still the best value to be England’s top batsman in the game at 6/1 and a small punt on ‘Freddie’ to be the best English bowler is also advised.
