What jumps out straight away is the number of batsmen who reached 1000 runs. Looking at the stats only 5 managed that landmark last year compared to 13 this summer
 
Jennings has earned another chance.

The numbers would suggest Hameed too (and I think he would do well in Pakistan) but might be too soon.

Duckett should be on the tour.

Hain backing up his outstanding 1 day average with a very good season but that middle order is packed and Brook + Duckett are ahead of him.

Jack's might get a tour spot.

Curran and J overton pushing for an all rounder spot in the future.

Bess showing he might be the 2nd spinner option if they wanted a batter but think Jacks is ahead of him in that regard.

Roland Jones with a fantastic season if they wanted him as a backup option.

M Parkinson still the 2nd best spin option on stats.

and you have ask why and what's changed. Have batsmen suddenly become better? Of course not, the dead ball and dead pitches due to very good weather and grounsmen being told to produce dead pitches have been the difference.

Very pleased to see Rocky has had a good year though.
 
Some actual depth emerging from an England perspective.

Jennings, Duckett, Sibley and Hameed all scoring runs and should be back in contention to open. Haines looks promising. Maybe even Compton if he keeps scoring runs.

Lots of middle-order options. Abell, Hain, Bohannon... Haynes (Worcs) and Smith (Surrey) are another two to look out for next season.

Of the all-rounders, good to see S Curran and J Overton do well. I expect Jacks, Bess or Patterson-White to get a tour spot for Pakistan. Keep an eye on Rehan Ahmed too. A promising leggie that can bat.

So many quick bowlers. Potts adapted well to Test cricket. Cook, Norwell, Conners and Helm could soon be options. Then there’s Mahmood, Fisher and Stone all to come back.
