Rashid had previously given up red-ball cricket to focus on the one-day game, but his fine form in England’s ODI games against India combined with the hot, dry summer have led national selector Ed Smith and his new colleague James Taylor to persuade the leg-spinner to reconsider.

The Yorkshire bowler, who took 20 wickets at 23.95 in England’s ODI series victories over Australia and India, returns to the squad for the the first time since he played in the fifth Test against India at Chennai in December 2016. It will be his first Test in England having earned his previous 10 away from home.

“Jamie Porter has been the outstanding seam bowler in the county championship over the past three seasons. He also impressed for the Lions v India A last week. With his resilience and appetite for wicket-taking, Jamie fully deserves his elevation to the England Test squad. Sam Curran, also full of form and confidence in Lions and county cricket, retains his place in the squad after his promising debut at Emerald Headingley.”
