England has named their squad for the second Test against West Indies following James Anderson’s retirement.

Pacer Mark Wood has been added to the lineup, replacing Anderson. Wood returns to the England setup after participating in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

His inclusion strengthens England’s pace attack, which already features Gus Atkinson, Chris Woakes, Matthew Potts, Ben Stokes, and Dillon Pennington.

Wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith retains his place after an impressive debut in the opening Test of the series. The second Test is scheduled to begin on July 18 at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

During Anderson’s farewell Test, Gus Atkinson stole the spotlight with a spectacular bowling performance, ending with impressive match figures of 12/106.
