London: England had been expected to name an enlarged squad of 15 or 16 players for the first Test against West Indies at Lord's starting on May 6, but with several key players away in South Africa with the IPL, and others, such as Michael Vaughan, having had limited opportunities to push their case so far this summer, that decision has been pushed back to April 29. It will also give the new coach, Andy Flower, longer to bed down in his new role.
Geoff Miller, the national selector, said: "The selectors have met but have decided that we need more time to assess players who are returning after injury. We also felt that by delaying the selection for the first Test it allowed us the opportunity to see another round of County Championship matches before deciding on the squad."
