There is no shortage of depth in England’s bowling stocks. You could name 15 players who are on the fringes of Test selection., Olly Stone and Saqib Mahmood are three out-and-out quicks who are returning from serious injuries. There is no guarantee they will not be struck down again. Jamie Overton, another contender, is currently injured.

Potts, who shone during his debut summer in 2022 and who also has a two-year England deal, played just one Test against Ireland last year. His record for Durham this season – eight wickets at 49.75 – is average. But he shone for England Lions on flat pitches in India last winter, is durable and has the ability to succeed at Test level.
