Dominick Sibley is widely touted to your this winter. You may well see him come in as an opener with Denly dropping to 3 or 4 again.

Foakes will come into contention with the gloves but whilst his test record is very good his form with the bat for his county this season has been poor.

Getting the balance of the team right will be tough. Perhaps too many all rounders which is muddling our thinking.

Stokes of course has to play but outside of him you’ve got:- Bairstow, Buttler, Woakes, Curran & Ali who give us options but are prone to inconsistency. Curren perhaps the only exception, he’s tended to perform more often than not.

Sibley deserves a chance, 1000 runs this season, solid opener.

Agree that with both Bairstow and Buttler able with the gloves Foakes needed a great domestic season with the bat, but he just hasn’t delivered the runs. Think Sibley and Pope are the ones we need a good look at over the winter.
