Headlines are Sibley out and Robinson, Malan and Leach in. They’ve dropped the distinction between red and white-ball contracts, though four contracted players (Moeen, Morgan, Roy and Rashid) are unlikely to play Test cricket, so a pool of 16 there effectively. Obviously doesn’t tie the selectors’ hands but at least gives a clue as to their feelings on injured/out of favour players.
