Bresnan recalled to England squad

LONDON: Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan were given the nod ahead of fellow paceman Steve Finn in England’s 12-man squad for Thursday’s opening Test of the four-match series against India at Lord’s.
England’s new Twenty20 skipper Broad was dropped for the fifth and final One-day International in the recent 50-overs series against Sri Lanka after struggling to take wickets. Bresnan returns to the Test squad for the first time since the final Ashes Test in Sydney in January after recovering from a calf muscle injury, the England Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement ahead of the sport’s 2,000th Test match.
Squad: Andrew Strauss (captain), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Alastair Cook, Eoin Morgan, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior, Graeme Swann, Chris Tremlett, Jonathan Trott.
