Bell pushes Key out

England name team for first Bangladesh Test

Ian Bell and Jonathan Lewis were both included in a 12-man squad announced Sunday for England's first Test of their home season, against Bangladesh, at Lord's starting on May 26.
Bell, who won his only Test cap to date against the West Indies last season, displaced current England number three Robert Key and also kept one-day international Kevin Pietersen out of the squad.
The 23-year-old Warwickshire batsman has made a dramatic start to the season with 482 county championship runs at an average over 80 and could face Bangladesh if Graham Thorpe continues to struggle with back trouble.
Pietersen, who starred for England during the one-day series in his native South Africa, had been struggling for form at new side Hampshire but made a century in their last championship match against Kent.
Uncapped Gloucestershire seamer Lewis, 29, was called up as late cover during the South Africa tour and, having been chosen ahead of regular 'back-up' paceman James Anderson, could make his debut if Simon Jones continues to struggle with his fitness.
Star all-rounder Andrew Flintoff was also included although he is unlikely to be able to bowl at top pace just yet following ankle surgery.
"In choosing this squad, the selectors were aware that a number of players are recovering from injuries," said chairman of selectors David Graveney.
"We will continue to monitor their fitness closely and a decision will be made later this week as to their availability for the next round of domestic fixtures starting this Friday prior to the first Test.
"We have already identified suitable replacements if those players are unavailable through injury.
"Ian Bell is an emerging player of international quality who performed well on his Test debut last year and has taken his excellent form on the England A tour into the domestic season.
"He fully deserves this opportunity to press his claims for a regular place in our Test side. The batting order, however, will be agreed by Duncan Fletcher (coach) and Michael Vaughan closer to the time of the first Test.
"Ian's selection means that Rob Key misses out which is unfortunate for him but it does underline the depth of talent that we have at our disposal at present," Graveney stressed.
"Kevin Pietersen was also discussed as an option within the middle order, but the selectors decided to opt for the experience of Graham Thorpe whom we hope will recover from injury in time to win his 99th Test cap," the former spinner added.
"Jon Lewis merits a place in the squad on the basis of his outstanding form for Gloucestershire over the past two seasons. "We have not finalised our bowling attack at this stage, and Duncan and Michael will make a decision once they have assessed all the available options immediately prior to the game and the conditions prevailing at Lord's."
The match will be Bangladesh's first Test in England, before the second and final Test of the series at Durham's Riverside ground starting June 3.
They continue their build-up with a three-day game against Sussex at Hove commencing Sunday and then face Northamptonshire in another three-dayer before arriving at Lord's.
England won both their previous two Tests against the Asian minnows in Bangladesh during the 2003-04 season.
