England selectors have added Lancashire bowler James Anderson, Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid and Durham all-rounder Ben Stokes to the squad for the second Investec Test at Emirates Old Trafford starting on Friday.
Both Anderson and Stokes, currently playing against each other in the Specsavers County Championship at Southport, have come through the first innings of the match without any issues in respect of their recent injuries.
Anderson has recovered from a stress fracture of his right shoulder and bowled 22 overs in the match taking three wickets for 58 runs.
Stokes, who has not played Test cricket since England’s victory over Sri Lanka at Headingley in May, has fully recovered from surgery to address a cartilage tear in his left knee.
Rashid, who last played for England in a Test last November against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates, will be looking to add to his three caps.
Nottinghamshire seamer Jake Ball, who made his debut in the first Test at Lord’s, was aware of tightness in his left thigh during the match and will be reviewed by the England medical team ahead of the match starting on Friday.
Middlesex seamer, Toby Roland-Jones, who was selected in the squad ahead of the Lord’s Test, has joined up with the England Lions.
