The England squad for the tour to Bangladesh was announced earlier today and the big news from the selection point of view is the recall of off-spinner Gareth Batty, who has been recalled to the Test side after a gap of 11 years.
The 38-year-old’s last Test for his country was against the same opposition at Durham and will now perhaps play his first Test against Bangladesh in the series starting next month.
Social media has been abuzz ever since the news broke out. Here are the best reactions:
