All-rounder Jamie Overton earned a surprise recall to the England Test squad as a 14-member squad was announced on Thursday for the opening Test at Headingley. Team India, led by new captain Shubman Gill, will face England in a five-match Test series starting June 20.

Alongside Overton, Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse, who missed the Zimbabwe series due to niggles, have also been recalled. Rising star Jacob Bethell has also made the cut.

England are set to field a depleted pace attack in the upcoming Test, with Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, and Gus Atkinson all ruled out due to injuries. Although Test captain Ben Stokes has returned to bowling, the weakened seam attack may struggle against an inexperienced yet flamboyant Indian batting line-up.
