Hopefully, Parkinson watched and learned from Rashid. He bowled 10kph quicker than Parkinson and mixed up his pace and variations to run through South Africa’s middle order. Moeen provided control at the other end, the perfect combination to coax batsmen into making errors.

Adil Rashid says he needs to earn his place in the test side through solid performances for Yorkshire first and isn't ready for any call up.

Nearly 32 (wiki) but leggys come into their prime much later than other bowlers and not really picked for much else although can bat a little too

Jennings and Foakes back. Parkinson and Butler in the squad
Jennings form doesn’t warrant a place in the squad - don’t care about the “he can play spin” argument. So can Bairstow, but he’s not gone.

Jennings average is importantly as an opener and therefore comparing to Bairstow isn't like with like anyway even if both had good tours.
Jennings is possibly seen either as a legitimate option or as cover for Crawley and Sibley with Burns not touring, he's also a superb close in fielder to compliment Pope.
Bairstow doesn't open in test cricket and with Foakes and Morgan isn't needed as a keeper.
Jennings past superb form as a specialist opener against spin on turning wickets makes him and not Bairstow the logical choice.
