Haseeb Hameed

Billings was at the IPl wasn’t he? Why not just ask Buttler to play

What has he done to jump Bairstow in the pecking order

That’s absolutely mental. I don’t think Bairstow deserves a call up, but Billings ffs.

He hasn't jumped. Bairstow played IPL so isn't being considered along with Curran, Buttler, Woakes etc

Billings was also at the IPL

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Surely Alex Davies would be a worth a shot? Or Robinson from Kent?

Well. all the other IPL players were "rested" so no idea why Bilings wasn't

Doubt he'll play in any case

Foakes set for 3 months out, real shame for him but big chance for Bracey now.
Hameed is just cover for the top 3 now and will probably be released to play county cricket.
Billings over Bairstow has to signal the end of Bairstows wicket keeping aspirations

Foakes fell over in the dressing room after the last game at torn his hamstring. Bet he is gutted.
