Apparently both Moeen and Adil Rashid could be left out of the ODI games in South Africa as England look to broaden the squad available with four years until the defence of their world cup.
With big white ball players in Ben Stokes, Mark Wood, Jos Buttler and the injured Jofra Archer also giving it a miss, it'll be a chance for some on the fringes to push their claims with a view to being an integral part by the next world cup in four years time. Lancashire's Matt Parkinson is ideally placed to stake such a claim and looks certain to be given every chance. The exception to this is Joe Denly who will be in following his good form in the last warm up in preference to Dawid Malan who looks to have missed his chance.
Meanwhile radio commentary of the Sri Lanka tour is in doubt as Talksport look to have baulked at the sums the Sri Lankan board are demanding and the BBC presumed Talksport would take up their option of commentary and haven't budgeted for it.
