Bell set for 3rd Test recall

London, July 26: Warwickshire batsman Ian Bell is set to get a Test recall as England named on Sunday a 13-man squad for next week’s third match of the Ashes series at his Edgbaston home ground.

Bell is set to replace Kevin Pietersen in the side that won the second Test against Australia at Lord’s by 115 runs, to go 1-0 up in the five-match series, after the South Africa-born batsman was ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes with an Achilles injury.

Fast bowler Stephen Harmison and left-arm spinner Monty Panesar have also been added to the XI that played at Lord’s, with Pietersen’s absence the only change to the initial 14-man squad announced ahead of the second Test.

England selection chief Geoff Miller said: "The performance of the team at Lord’s was outstanding and a convincing win was well deserved. We have obviously had to make a change to the side following Kevin Pietersen’s unavailability and we wish Kevin the best with his rehabilitation and look forward to his return to the England team in due course.

"Kevin’s injury has presented an opportunity for Ian Bell who we know is a top-class batsmen with an excellent international record for England. Ian will be looking to make the most of his return to the side during an Ashes series and while we have a strong idea of where he will bat we won’t be disclosing the final line-up of the side until the toss on Thursday." — AFP
