Barney Rubble
International Coach
England A squad has been named, at the same time as Panesar was named to the full squad:
Vikram Solanki (capt), Kabir Ali, James Anderson, Gareth Batty, Ian Blackwell, Rikki Clarke, Alastair Cook, Jamie Dalrymple, Ed Joyce, Alex Loudon, Sajid Mahmood, Chris Read, Owais Shah, Alex Wharf, Michael Yardy
Blackwell is on standby if Giles isn't fit for the senior squad. Assuming he remains with the A team, the side will probably look like this:
Solanki*
Cook
Shah
Joyce
Clarke
Blackwell
Read+
Loudon
Ali
Mahmood
Anderson
It looks a decent side - it'll be interesting to see how the spinners go.
