Adil Rashid has been included in England's squad for the first Test
against India, despite the leg-spinner saying he wanted to concentrate
on limited-overs cricket.
The Edgbaston Test begins on August 01,2018
All-rounder Moeen Ali is included, while Essex pace bowler Jamie Porter has been called up for the first time.
Somerset spinners Dom Bess and Jack Leach will train with the squad, but all-rounder Chris Woakes is not yet ready after suffering quad and knee injuries in May.
Rashid has been a key fixture of England's limited-overs side and opted to focus solely on white-ball cricket for the 2018 season.
He has taken 38 wickets in 10 Tests for England, but the 30-year-old has not played since the tour of India in December 2016.
Moeen, who was dropped from the side after a difficult winter, took 5-107 for Worcestershire in the County Championship on Tuesday
