The England team has at last revealed their first Test squad against the Indian team, in which many were expected to be included, but the inclusions of Jamie Overton and Jacob Bethell are notable.
The 36-year-old Chris Woakes is back in the team after several months, and he has been the most underlooked player for the England side who always performed more than his capabilities, but still England management always looked away whenever they got the chance, but whenever they were in need, they always called him back in the team.
Chris Woakes Test and vs India stats
He has performed exceptionally well in the Indian team, and the only century he has in his test career is against India; alongside that, he has taken 23 wickets in just 13 innings, which is just great.
